My cat recently caused my tv to fall 5 feet to the ground, ever since on the sides of the screen, it has been green. Fixable? or should I just cut my losses and get a new one?
Thanks
Sorry to tell you, most likly when the set fell, it caused a screen inside the set called a shadow mask to shift and the only way to fix would be to replace the picture tube. you could try unplugging the set overnight then replug back in but its unlikly that will help but always worth a try.

The figure are similar, corresponding sides are proprtional
L1/L'1=L2/L'2= ... =k , the scale factor for lengths.
However, if scale factor for lengths is k, the ratio of area is k^2 find Scale factor
Use the given area to find the proportionality factor then use it the ratio of length to find the missing distance between the parallel sides.
Area of new /Area of old=360/250=36/25=k^2
k=SQRT(36/25)=6/5
Ratio of lengths =k=6/5
Distance between parallel sides of new patio/Distance between parallel sides of old patio=6/5
Distance between parallel sides of new patio= (6/5)*12.5=15
The distance between the parallel sides of the new patio is 15 feet.

These sets did have one common issue where red, green, or blue would do what you are describing.
The set has 3 picture tubes and each has a small circuit board plugged to the bottom of it (bottom of the tubes faces down) and a ground would break loose or a part do the same.
I would examine the picture (see if you can take one and post it somewhere for me to see---picture will tell me a lot).
The ones with the ground broken usually show it more on the sides then in the middle of the screen.
Hi, It could be possible that your monitor is not degaussing the screen when you turn it on. Try turning your monitor on and off a few times to degauss the screen. If this does not work, you most likely need a new degaussing coil which is a cheap part and can be bought at any TV spares retailer
The set is probably magnetized and needs degaussing (demagnetizing). All CRT type TV's have an internal demagnetizing circuit that is engaged when the set is first turned on after being off for the day. If this circuit is working then you sometimes hear a "bonk" sound (about 1/2 a second long) when the set is first turned on. If this circuit isn't working the set will become magnetized over time and will have to be degaussed using a degauss coil available at a TV repair shop (cost aprox. $35.00) and you should have the circuit checked at the same time. A set will also become magnetized if a large speaker (magnet) or motor is close to the TV. Be sure to vote/rate me if this helped Thanks!
you need to move your speakers away from the tv. turn the tv off and on about 10 times. it has a degauser built into the tv it will take the green out. also a vacume cleaner can cause this to happen. as long as it is a tube type tv.
I have been advised that the color/light engine of the TV fails often and will typically create a green tint on this unit. I have one on order to get a replacement installed. BTW, it is not "user serviceable" and (for me) will require moving the TV to the repair shop for the change-out.
