Hi,
My RCA colortrak 36" went out the other day. Last week it started making this crackling noise and then would turn itself off. It seemed that after it warmed up 10 minutes that this would go away. The picture has been fine the while this is happening. Now when I try to turn it on it makes this popping noise and then will automatically turn itself off. The TV no longer will stay on but shut itself off immediately. The TV is 6 years old. I normally do not like to get tv's repaired because they are so cheap these days. But I wanted this one to last another year or two until the plasma's or DLP get into my price range.
If I could fix it and get maybe 2-3 years out of it for 100-200 bucks than I would go for it. I just dont want to fix it and then it breaks 6 months later.
What do you guys think. Anyone familiar with this problem.
