VaKo Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 What could do it is a large surge from a home radio station. I have friends who live's near one of these. Some spanish station yelling crap finds it's way into every speaker in his house and will mess with the TV. IF they are pushing that much power it's DANGEROUS! That could be it... Wouldn't you notice birds catching fire? And nose bleeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmp79 Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Ok, I'm not gonna be around as much for the next week or so, because I've had a little problem... Within 24 hours,1. Main family TV (14 month old 32" widescreen) went boom, 2. My brother's 14" TV went boom, 3. My main 17" monitor went boom, 4. My 14" TV is about to go boom. Now, I haven't the faintest clue why this has happened, and if anyone has any ideas as to what could have happened then I'd like to hear them... all of the appliances were CRTs and nothing else has been affected at all. They were on different circuits in the house's electrics and afaik the power has been fine and they died staggered over 24 hours, so not all at the same time... The reason I won't be online as much though, is that until I get me a new monitor, I'm having to use a POS 14" Apple VGA monitor that can't handle anything above 640x480 @60Hz and it's making me sick already... :( This is coming from a very small amount of experience in troubleshooting electricity, First thing you need to do is going any hardware store that carries electrical supples. You need to get a fault detector. The normally look like a large plug that has some LEDs on it that when you plug it into the wall outlet they will tell you if there is any problem with the circuit. It will tell you if everything is ok, if there is a cross or and bad ground. If all you circuits come test clean then you need to get a good meter that can measure both volts and hertz. These will cost you some cash but you will be able to test more effectively. What you need to do is plug them in to you wall and make sure that your readings and where they should be. 120 volts and around 60hrtz. These numbers should not go up and down at all if they do then you have a problem and need to call you power company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Thanks for replying... It all seems ok now, maybe a freak surge or something, but all is fine and I have new monitors for my troubles :) 2 days suffering with a 14" VGA monitor = a new widescreen LCD and a new 19" CRT :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTR its actually 240volts @ 50hz over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
