I have a RF 32" avant DVD that died today whilst watching the Grand Prix. The picture went red with lines then it poped through the speakers and picture and sound died.

Bump

Is it possible to turn it on again?

 

Might not be the actual tube but possibly a power supply problem to the tube. I would suggest it needs a dealer to look at it! TVs are very dangerous to open up unless you know what you are doing!

If I try to turn it on it does the same thing again, I hope it is the power supply, must be cheaper than a tube. Is there any way to tell the diference between the two faults.

If there is no sound and picture from SAT & DVD then I would be surprised if it is the tube unless there was an internal short which took down the HT supply. The rest of the set would continue to work because it would be using the low voltage sections of the power supply.

I think you need to get the dealer out to do some voltage checks, if it is the tube, he will properly have to order it anyway.

£1000 later! I now have my Avant back (really missed it as all the link sets and music was offline) They delivered it late afternoon Saturday, I thought I would give it a clean and noticed in daylight three marks in the centre of the screen on the coating (looks like the anti reflective coating is damaged) Grrrrrrrrrrr

Easy to replace - two screws underneath release the frame and 4 under this release the screen. Get the dealer to do it or he will think you damaged it. Is an on-site task.

Thanks Peter, will do.

In answer to your earlier question - yes - they're very expensive - over £200 for a new Coated Screen!
