Was watching TV live (not through Tivo) and suddenly the screen went black except for a horizontal green line came up on the middle of the screen for a second, then the green line shrank into a green dot and all went black.
No sound and no picture. The little red light on the front of the TV set was off, so there was no power on. Repeated tries to turn it on failed.
The picture had been excellent since the TV was new in 1986, so it's over 22 years old now. No previous trouble of any kind. Any idea what happened? Thanks!

You're correct! Wouldn't make sense to spend any money fixing a TV set that old. Now I have to get rid of this heavy thing and replace it with an LCD flat panel--one with at least a 32" screen. Thanks!
Wow, if I got 22 years out of a T.V., personally, I would probably faint. Sorry I can't help with the problem, but I think I can understand because you get so used to something working good for so long, why does it have to end.?? Good luck!
