RCA 26" LCD W/ DVD
Model# L26WD26D
Hello! I bought this TV in with a pallet of returned merchandise. There is minor damage on the top right (as you're looking at it). It looks like it was dropped. There are a couple of issues with it. When I first turned it on the screen was gray with 2 areas of vertical color banding. I put in a DVD and it seems to work. I get the audio. I left the DVD playing for a while and the colors started a kaliedescope effect. Eventually, the picture appeared as it should except for the 2 vertical bands that were there at the beginning. I repeated a cold start and the syptoms were the same and it took almost 30 minutes for the screen to become clear. The vertical lines on the left seem to be 2 greens and a red, thin, and total about 1/4" wide total. The one on the right seems to be many colors, mostly brown and greens and is a little ove 1/4" wide. Do these seem to be related? I really appreciate any help you can give.
Thank you,
Mark |
