				TV dead?
			 Our TV here at the office, an older 35 inch tv, is currently showing just a thin, maybe 1/2 inch, line of picture straight across the middle.  That means it's toast right?

				            | It can probably be repaired for less than the cost of a new TV. But then again, it's also a good excuse to get a new TV. If you do get rid of it, be sure to dispose of it properly at an electronics recycling facility. Some retailers will also take them. Electronics, especially CRTs, have a great deal of hazardous waste that does not belong in land fills. And some of it can be recycled. |

				            | 60 in.? Pshaw... 110 inch baby!!! OK; you just lost man points. To even SUGGEST that there is a reason to not buy a new TV pushes you towards girly-man.

| Senior Member | Apparently if you just leave it on for a while it starts working again.  Or at least that's what it's done.
