Loss of Color on my TV

Barnaby, is this the Panasonic TV you had trouble with a little while ago?

You know we can't possibly do anything without the Model #, Serial #, and Date of manufacture.

If we don't get that information, you'll be staring at that flippin' red dot forever.

Good luck.

Check with your local opthamologist...

Many of us here - even you yourself - can tell you what the problem is: ".... now everytime I switch on it is on black and white". The solution is more tricky.

1) Check the signal input connector.

2) See #2.

Have you tried tv land, I Love Lucy, Leave It To Beaver, Andy Griffith and many others look great in black and white.

Also, unless the fix takes less than 15 minutes and parts, (which you won't be able to find), cost less than $50, you can get a new tv for less than repair...............I've been there.

The problem is that it is broken.

The solution is to replace it.

get a magnet and scratch on monitor wonders happens

Without any further information the only thing that comes to mind is that you are using an S-video source and the chrominance channel is bad somehow. Check/replace the cable. (As opposed to composite video, which uses a single connection for both color and brightness signals, S-video uses two connections : Luminance for brightness and chrominance for the color)

what colour are those wires. i'd like to do a physical check and replace any of them.

Replace the color cartridges.......or your son might be sold the color Tv and replaced a similar black/white.
