Question about Toshiba TP50H50 50" Rear Projection Television
I have an older Toshiba TP50H50 projection TV. I bought it back in 1998, and figured it would need maintenance soon. Just recently, the screen went dark with the sound still working. I figured it would be the bulb burnt out. Does this sound about right? Also, do you think it would be worth it to fix this issue or just replace the set? Thanks.
IT sounds like you lost your high voltage going to the picture tubes. This could be due either to part of the main power supply going out due to a defective capicator or semiconductor, or something more serious in the High voltage distribution network. With the age of the set, I would be most inclined to replace it with a new HDTV, and Toshiba still are pretty reliable sets. If you can afford it, a Sony KDS-55A20 puts out a beautiful picture for around $2300.
