Sanyo TV with yellowish green picture

I've already posted this over at sci.electronics.repair but haven't got
any replies so far. Thought i'd post ti here and see if i had any more
luck. I have a Sanyo CE28WP4 - B widescreen TV that began going wrong
when my stepson ripped a scart lead from the back.
Basically the picture became very washed out and took on a blueish tint
which was most notable on any dark scenes the set displayed.

I'd had a look inside for anything that I could see that may be
obviously wrong but couldn't really see anything. I did clear a lot of
the dust out but the first time round that seemed to make the problem
worse. After taking the back off the set again I had a prod and a poke
around and the set went back to having the blue tint, it was a crap
picture but was just about watchable.

I decided to have another go at trying to find anything wrong yesterday
after reading a TV repair FAQ and speaking to various people aboput the
problem
but failed again although this time I was able to make the picture much
better by adjusting the pot on the flyback for the screen brightness,
and playing around with the brightness/colour/contrast controls on the
remote. All was well for around 2 hours then the picture stuttered for
a second and came back on a yellowish green. Other colours are still
displayed but with the yellowish green tint.

Does anyone know the likely problem and more importantly a soloution.
I bought the set second hand only a couple of months ago and although I
didn't pay much for it I was hoping it would last a bit longer than
this.

Any help much appreciated. with

You don't mention it but have you tried using a different SCART cable?
Have you also tried using a different SCART input, if you have one?
How about using the video input at the front/side of the set?

If yes to all of those it's likely the video input board to the set is
faulty, get it fixed under warranty since it's new.

Unfortunatley the set was bought second hand and at a rather knockdown
price so it's out of warranty. I'm just wanting a rough idea of what
could be wrong so i can maybe get an idea of the cost to put it right.

I tried using several different scart cables and the composite input on
the front and the picture is always the same. It also displays the
static green when it's not tuned to anything.

Your stepson definitely wasn't the cause of the damage since you're getting
the same problem on all inputs of the set, just a coincidence. I'd get a
qualified technician to come and have a look at it and give you a quote to
fix the TV, that way you can decide whether it's worth fixing.

cheers
