Dear Forum,

I had some strange behavior of my main TV set today.

All of the sudden the TV turned off. When pressing TV again, just a single green flash in the middle of the screen and off it went again. Radio and CD worked well (the set is masterlinked to a Beosound 3000) - probably because the tube stays turned off in this mode.

I disconnected everything. Started it again after 10 mins. I would turn off again, but on the second try, it stayed on - some very small green flashes at different places on the screen that stopped after just a few seconds. Now everything works again, but I am worried...

Should I take the set to a dealer to service it? We are a non-smoking household, not pets.

I learnt, that the TV will sort of protect itself if it suspects an issue, but I have no idea, if it will be save to use the tv.

Appreciate any comment on this issue.

PS: We had a used Avant whose tube broke after appr. 10 years, but if this happens to the BV 3-32 only being 5 years old, I cannot see the point in spending appr. 4.000 Euro on a high-quality set that won't last.

Definitely get it serviced. It doesn't sound like the tube itself but more like something peripheral with a bad connection.

I just had one in in my service center with the same fault.

It was the picture tube in the end, but we thought it was everything else. But contact your service center before the error becomes permanent...!

What did it cost you to get this fixed?

Thanks for your support!

If its the picture tube=you dont wanna know....! in danish kroner(DKK) about 7500-9000. 1.000 euro?
