I have no idea of your electronics expertise but I feel I need to add that working on a CRT TV can be highly dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. The tube can hold a lethal charge and must be discharged correctly before even thinking about starting work on one.

Good luck with your TV though

thanks, puncher, for your reply and keeping my post afloat for general viewing by the powers that be.

in browsing to find an answer to my query, i did come across the helpful spirit you mention. the amount of detailed attention to the various problems of keeping ones jewels up and running, is truly inspiring. in particular i was impressed also by a complete overhaul-workshop of a tv set done by martin, a.k.a. Die_Bogener.

i only wish i could be as helpful to this or any community.

thanks again!

I can't help with your problem I'm afraid but I am replying to keep your post on the front page, near the top as there are plenty of folk here who can (nobby springs to mind).

I will take this opportunity however to say welcome to Beoworld, it is a really helpful and informative forum and I hope you stay with us after your problem is resolved

NEW MEMBER - BeoVision MX 6000 Color Problems

Hi everyone and Happy 2009!

i've been having trouble with my b&o tv for the last 2 months or so.

intermittently, the color, or if you prefer, colour of my MX 6000 (approx. 1992), has been dropping out completely and the image remains black & white for some time before switching back to color on its own.

the switch to b&w mostly occurs after changing channels, but on occasion also without any user (remote control) input.

pressing "tv" on the beolink 1000 remote, shows the "TV X" (where X is the channel number) in light blue even when the image is in b&w. i guess this would point to a tuner rather than RGB issue.

i would appreciate any ideas on how to get to the bottom of this issue. if anyone has step-by-step instructions on tracing or replacing parts, those would be great also.

keep in mind, while i can use a soldering iron, i am no electronics engineer.

thanks for the read.
