I was rearranging some furniture in my man's bedroom and I think I broke his TV
There is green fuzz in random spots on the screen. But cartoons don't show the green fuzz at all.
Does this sound like a cable went lose somewhere/fell out? Or have I banged something on the flat panel and le télé is ed?
If possible, I'd like to fix this before he gets home from work and I wind up on Maury Povich as a battered victim of domestic violence.

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this!
Should mellow him out.

Is there some sports event he wants to watch today? If yes, run for your life!
If no you should start by checking all the cables. And run for your life if that doesn't help.

The alignment in the panel is off & it's only picking up certain color frequencies. You can fix it yourself by either an alignment plainer with an attached meter. Or an easier fix would be to flip the tv upside down while turned on for a few days & let it balance itself out.

Just say you didn't know how it happened.
EDIT: Also, move them the back they were

Honestly, you should probably just unplug your TV completely from your cable box, recheck all the connections, and then plug everything back in. That would also be a good time to organize your cables so that it's not just one big jumbled mess.

igk makes a good point. When in doubt, blame the cat.

a kitten would be more likely to be able to fix a tv

The tv is probably ed, and the cartoons are just too saturated for you to notice. Unplugged component cables drop entire color ranges out. Unplugged hdmi cables cut the picture out completely. This is pointless speculation without pics, though.
Also, there's a reasonable possibility that the tv just broke itself. After all, it is a Samsung.
Ps, don't listen to Jonsun. :stongue:

Brilliant. :)
Never thought of that before, I've just used an alignment plainer + meter.

Why not listen to jonSun? Those things all sounded relatively plausible... then again I have no idea.
PS. It's not the Samsung in his TV room (he exchanged that one for some other LED, btw). This is a little 35-inch Insignia in his bedroom. Also... how the do you remember what kind of TV we originally bought? lol :wtf:
Ok so I'm making sure everything is plugged in and focusing on component cables. Right after I figure out what they are.
