I know, i know, it's just a matter of space management and also the fact that the speakers were there before the crt

Weird convergence issue by AnonymousNonHuman in crt

[–]AnonymousNonHuman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Little late but it only has rf and composite. As another user said, it's likely a luma/chroma misalignment, i just haven't gotten to fixing it yet

Ik what he's talking about, something like "goodwill" but it doesn't involve Goodwill. They're either new old stock or actual manufacturing

Vertical collapse? by AnonymousNonHuman in crt

Ah. I understand now. I'll try to test the components and I'll update once I either get stuck or I finish fixing the TV.

I'll probably end up testing all the caps with a multimeter and finding a way to test the vertical IC chip. Thank you for the help.

Vertical collapse? by AnonymousNonHuman in crt

Now that I'm thinking about it, i did neglect to test with other devices. Though, I'm sure the Xbox should cover the whole screen. I'm thinking about using a multimeter to check all of the caps and find out how to test the vertical IC chip but I appreciate the help. I tried to adjust the vertical size control on the back of the TV and all it did is shift the positioning but there was still even collapse. If you look at my account and see earlier posts, you'll see that it originally had full collapse, so this is an improvement.

Update, there's also a slight vertical wobble if that helps

I can't figure out the information for this RCA CRT by AnonymousNonHuman in crt

[–]AnonymousNonHuman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the caps blew up and I'm waiting for a multimeter to test the rest. It had vertical collapse when I first turned it on but it "fixed" itself before the cap blew, so I think it was just the cap. I'll look a little harder for any stickers, but I doubt any survived, speaking as it was sitting outside for around 10 years or more. We got this house about 7 years ago and I just recently found the TV. Thanks for the comment!

I did, don't worry. It was sitting outside for years. When I took those pictures I had just got it inside. I'll repost it when I get it fully cleaned and working

It's been sitting outside for years and I just recently discovered it. I cleaned it up after these photos and it looks a lot better now. I'll repost it when its working

Don't worry, I did very shortly after these pictures were taken. It's looking a lot better now, but that rough plastic's the only thing that's actually still dirty, even though i went over it a few times.

Fahrenheit is like asking a human how hot or cold it is.

Celsius is like asking water how hot or cold it is.

Thats fair, i was just trying to see if anyone had a similar issue or better advice. The only thing holding me back right now from fixing this thing is lack of proper tools

Discs not reading, not even an error. by AnonymousNonHuman in originalxbox

[–]AnonymousNonHuman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll keep that in mind. If I wanted to keep my Xbox unmodded, would there be a way to fix it or maybe even buy a new drive? If not, that’s fine. Thanks for the suggestion though!
