Hello,I'm having a picture problem I have a hour glass picture.The picture comes in great alittle blue and red lines on the outside of channel display, white letters and also a strong smell.The tv was on and There was a cracking pop noise and the picture flickered.I service appliances so I know when there 10yrs or older you may not find parts.I'm hoping to have this fixed but I would like to have alittle heads up on what may be wrong.Here's the chassis#ptk188ac Thanks Bob
Most likly this set has two or maybe trhee problems .. first one sounds like a main power filter is open or the main power supply is at fault. the second coulkd be related or the cause of the first problem and could be shorted convergence ICs. the third could be a bad flyback transformer and good luck if thats the problem.. if the sets 10 years + in age, i would think very seriously into investing much to get this one going again.
