Unsolder the posistor first and shake it, if it rattles its fryed, if it doesn;t, it might just be adry joint.re solder if ok and turn on, if colours still mixed you might be looking at a faulty shadow mask and an expensive fix.
Testimonial: "Thanks. The positor was burnt out. However, I found one for just a few pounds and so the machine is fixed. Your advice was sound though!"
This is often called a PTC or thermistor . its actually a positive temp coefficient resistor .... most tvs use a similar type . they have either 2 leads or 3 leads .. once that requirement is met you can use one out of any junk tv ... or you can order a degauss PTC ... here is one part number that should work on most
APEX AT2702 Degauss Thermistor ...
i think thats a 3 legged device if thats what you need
do not jump across the PTC .. most sets will work without it if you dont move the tv and have a manual degaussing coil to use if you do move it .. (you only have to use the coil once untill the set is again moved) .. if you dont degauss the screen then you may have color blotches but the set will still work ..
Testimonial: "Many thanks for your speedy and precise response."
Depends where you live , in Europe try CPC or RS components
Testimonial: "Thanks. I live in the UK an haven't identified anywhere to buy one yet... but will persist"
