TV blank screen query

frasr · 2019-02-25 00:10:46

Been offered a crt TV with a "black screen" but the channel number is still showing on screen. Owner has said that it was working so I doubt it's a tuning issue. Am I correct in thinking that the input connection is likely gone dodgy as opposed to the tv/being gone. Is my thought too simple on this?

What's he connecting to it?

Best bet to test it is use a scart cable with something you know works and switch to the AV on the TV.

If it's not working then weigh up how much the TV costs. Like I had a Sony 30 inch CRT bust on my a while ago. I looked at repairing it but instead I check my Facebook buy and sell and got an exact same one again for €20.
