It's probably a write-off. The circuit board inside has been cracked so that some of the copper traces that connect parts have broken. This commonly happens around the area of the horizontal output transformer, which is heavy. The shock of the fall causes the transformer to bounce and breaks the board. Other areas too may have been damaged because of flexing. And worst, the picture tube can be damaged in a fall, so it either doesn't work at all or shows permanently distorted colors.

It's tough to find anyone willing to repair a set that's fallen. Many circuit board tracks are very narrow and hard to repair. Then it's difficult to know if all the damage has been found and repaired, so even if the set starts working a technician doesn't know if something else won't go wrong. And then there's that bad tube possibility; no technician likes to spend lots of time fixing a broken board only to find the set then needs a new tube. Trust me, this has happened to me several times during my career in TV shops.

Your best bet is to use this as an excuse to buy a new LCD or plasma TV. 40-inch models, a good size match for a 32-inch CRT (tube) model, are reasonably priced.

Good chance that it is if it broke the circuit tracks and cannot be reconnected,depends on how bad the board was damaged.

Won’t clean my blackrugs

I don't fully understand your question, but if you're asking about how to clean black rugs I would say is vinegar and very little liquid laundry detergent in cold water.

If you're asking about how to clean black carpet, with a carpet cleaning machine, again use very little soap, and cold water in the rents and put vinegar in the rents as well. The vinegar will help keep the black rugs, black. The vinegar will also help take the soap out of the carpet and will take any odors that are in the carpet out as well. The smell of vinegar will dissipate as it dries, and won't hurt the wood floors if you have wood floors underneath. Good luck!

Tv fell off the stand onto a carpet floor now wont turn on

Possible that the fall has damaged the mother board and so there can be CRACK ON THE MOTHER BOARD. So you need to remove power cord and check using a good inspection lamp on the board for broken circuit board. Use a good soldering iron with wire strips to join - take care not to short circuits as each line must be tested for short and continuity.

Hi my tv fell off the wall last night about three feet to the carpet now it won't turn on the amber vizio light won't even come on when I plug it in. I took it apart and nothing appears to be...

After a fall like this (even on carpet) it probably has a cracked circuit board or a loose connector, first (since you took it apart any way) look for all connectors, than unplug them and re-plug them to make sure all plugs and boards are seated correctly, if you still don't have luck, than take out all the circuit boards and check them for cracks under a good lamp and magnifying lens, than repair the cracked traces with a good soldering gun by scratching off the varnish coating and applying solder. (if the crack is to wide you can solder a peace of coper wire to the trace on the board)

Have fun!

My "t " bird hard drive fell onto floor from about

The '1TB' device is 10 to a large power.
The '930GB' is 2 to a much-larger power.

Since '1GB' is 1,073,741,824 bytes,
multiplying 930 times 1,073,741,824 is equal to 1TB.

So, your device is 100% empty -- all 930GB are "free" space.
