tv screen turned red

    I'm not sure if this is the right section, mods feel free to move it


    I have a flat screen Toshiba, bought a little over a year ago.

    When I turned it on this morning it powered up with a red screen rather than a blue screen. When I turned on the sky box it was like watching the tv through a red mist. There was also a lag, when you changed channel the 'ghost' of whatever was on the last channel stayed.

    It gradually faded to red lines and then normal.

    Any idea what it might be? Once off issue or something terminal for what's a new tv.

    Any advice?

    Hi,

    Is the problem on every channel and input?

    Ie when you watch a DVD as well as Sky is the problem there?

    If it is not, then it sounds like a new set of cables will solve it - or at worse - a terminal on the TV or Sky box is faulty.

    If it is ever present despite what you are watching then it sounds like the main PCB board and/or Panel has gone in which case you need to take it back to the store ASAP.

    Thanks for that. Unfortunately it's at inputs, sky DVD, everything. Sounds like tv is a goner so? I have no receipt or warranty.

    Worse, I'm confined to the house after an operation. Bit of a disaster

    Sorry to hear that.

    Not all is lost. Where did you get it from and how old is it? Also did you purchase by card as a bank statement can act as proof of purchase
