Female coax connector in tv bad? (by 2 users)


posted by Darryl1940 on Nov 08, 2007


tv went to all snow, every channel while in use. turn off/on doesn't clear. I connect from wall, through a cable converter to tv.
Cable co. came, researched & pronounced cable, cable converter are good - problem must be my tv.
They even used my cable to connect to their portable tv & it looks fine.
Picture & sound are fine if use TV for watching DVDs.
I'm leaning toward the coax connector as culprit. Is it possible to replace that myself?
We have a 27" Hitachi TV. Recently, it has intermittenly been going from a perfectly clear picture to a gradually increasing 'snow' state with accompanying 'sssshhhhh' noise. The only way I have found to temporarily eliminate this is to literally smack the sides of the set with force! The snow either goes away for a short while or, sometimes disappears for the entire evening of TV watching. Any ideas as to what is causing this and how to eliminate it?
I have the same problem.

not so much the snow as described above, but tv intermittently loses signal (either black screen, or dreaded "one moment please" screen). cable guys have replaced all connectors, inside and out, pronounced the box and signal to be good and last night suggested it might be my TV connector. i realize this is possible, the TV is about 7 yrs old and has gone through two cross country moves, but is it probable? has anyone else experienced this? thanks in advance.

Did the cable person take a reading on the signal level at the cable outlet on the wall and did the cable person check the TV setting to make sure they are correct. TV could be set on the wrong channel also.

The cable connector on the tv is very fragile if is is loose it is no goog. Take to TV repair shop and have them look at it.
