We have a 1998 60 inch Phillips Magnavox. The screen has a yellow cast. Anything white has a green hue. We took the back off and wiped off the lamps. What do we need to do?

Replace the CRT coolant. You can get the Phillips CRT coolant kit from www.tvrepairworld.com the kit contains the coolant and the CD with instructions.

If you turn color off and stand back and examine the screen---if it is not black and white but yellow looking you have bad Glycol in the blue picture tube which is quite common.
Easy way to know for sure is with set on and rear cover removed peek with a small mirror at the three lens---don't touch anything with the set on===each tube red,blue, green should have a picture with the set on.
Likely you will find the blue one looks like a floodlight with little or NO image/picture.
There are several different types of projection sets: some use 3 picture tubes, red,green,blue--if this kind of set is what you have the coolant used in the blue tube is bad-----this type of problem leaves red and green which = yellow.
Most common in Samsung, Philips, Magnavox type sets.
If it is a newer set without picture tubes (a dlp style set) yellow in the middle of the screen would denote a damaged optical light engine.
Let me know brand, model number, date made----all are on back of set.
Last year i had a phillips 100hz tv which had a similar problem.
There can be one of 2 major problems :A processor chip which controls the colour and the tube which could have failed or both.
This could be an expensive repair if the spares are available,(Usually imported from there singapore branch)
I would first check the warranty and then take it to the agents.
1)Please verify your model # from back of set......
2)Reduce the color to minimum or tune in a black & white chan.
you should see gray, not yellow hue
3)Remove lower front grill cover & access panel.....locate the
focus / screen control block...turn blue screen control slightly
CW......red,green and blue must mix to equal gray
i had the same prob on my 28 inch hd sanyo crt , i took it apart and reconnected a few plugs and havent had any trouble yet { be sure to unplug it and b quite careful even then} saved me a couple hundred $ !!!
