My Mitsubishi TV is about 12-14 yrs old. The

My Mitsubishi TV is about 12-14 yrs old. The picture has becine very fuzzy/unclear and seems to get worse over time. It gets more fuzzy after about 3-5 minutes of being on. I had a similar problem several years ago. Took it to a repair shop and paid over $300 to get is fixed. I can purchase newer models (Plasma - refurbished) for about $500. Is is worth it to get it fixed....or attempt to fix it myself or should I invest in a newer model?

Snow on scren only Will not change chanals either using remote or tv contol Do I need a turner? if so where can I obtain same? call Tom @ 1-314=822=7373 TV about 30 yrs old think I had a power surage

any tv 30 yrs old is surely analog , these wont work in todays environment as the ole government did away with all those analog goodies , you'll need a converter to convert the new 1080P HD pictures down to the fuzzy analog signal so your tv can see them , unless its a family heirloom with a fantastic looking wooden cabinet id be looking to get a new HD tv to replace it

TV works fine for a while, then the picture disappears.

I would just replace the TV, the parts are not going to be made to repair this. The set is just to old.

Picture becomes fuzzy and lined, clears with a sharp rap on the top of case.

probably a bad connection on the circuit board inside that heats up over time. the tap on the top probably moves the connection just enough To make it good for short time.

Top of the screen Picture Problem

sound like you have 1 or a couple of leaky/bad capacitors in the tv's vertical circuit, typically, there sould be 5 to 10 caps. in all, but you just need 1 bad one to cause your problem. good luck.
