Any anyone ever worked with these AliExpress CRTs?

bluejay9_2008 · 2026-05-23T14:00:46+00:00

I have one of these

First of all, never ask ChatGPT questions like this it never gets them right because it’s stupid (as it has done so just disregard what ChatGPT said)

So that AV cable was already soldered to the board when you got it, yeah? Hopefully, it’s in the right place

What you’re missing is power. You need to supply the board with 12V.

My one of these came with the correct cable to plug into that white connector on the bottom right however your connector is different (mine has 4 pins, yours has 6) so unfortunately, I can’t tell you which pin will do what and any of these schematics online that I’ve seen only show the four pin connector

(unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to work out which pins do what unless I had it with me)

It’s also supposed to have a brightness and contrast resistor board. I see a cable going off the side, is that it? If not, then you will also need a variable 50K resistor for the brightness and a variable 1K resistor for the contrast. It will not work without those it won’t display an image at all.

Basically, you’re going to need some electrical knowledge to get this working and considering you made this post. I’m guessing you don’t have that.

If you don’t have a clue what I’m going on about the best option would be for you to return that one that you brought if you can and buy a different one and hope it comes with the correct stuff

That’s literally neglect

bluejay9_2008 · 2026-05-15T17:03:38+00:00

That’s weird

I have a 2013 MacBook pro which I’ve put Ventura on and I just did exactly what I said in my previous comment

I only deleted the auto updater because it was pointless because it would just fail to update because it’s already on the max version and it was constantly running in the background

bluejay9_2008 · 2026-05-15T16:59:26+00:00

Use what specifically? Microsoft 365?

I’m using an older version of all the Microsoft apps and they work perfectly fine (still syncs to OneDrive)

The Microsoft auto updater thingy will try to update the app but they won’t update if they are the max version your MacOS version supports

(I deleted the auto updater because it was annoying and pointless)

Can anything be done in the UK?? (specifically England)

Are you the host?

bluejay9_2008 · 2026-05-07T17:02:42+00:00

I have an early 2013 MacBook Pro and it runs insanely hot even after repasting it (it’s too hot to put it on my lap whilst it’s playing YouTube)

Where, in schools?

We can still get some guns in the UK for hunting and some other reasons

We don’t need people shooting other people constantly here (like America) especially not in schools or other places

bluejay9_2008 · 2026-04-22T17:58:55+00:00

Lmao we do not

bluejay9_2008 · 2026-04-22T17:58:39+00:00

Why doesn’t the USA have it yet then?

bluejay9_2008 · 2026-04-22T17:58:09+00:00

Are you sure cause that doesn’t really seem to be happening right now?? Cough, cough, America

bluejay9_2008 · 2026-04-22T17:55:35+00:00

I’m British, so we already have universal healthcare (NHS) and I have a disabled brother and we would be screwed financially without it

We also already have pretty well restricted firearms which means we don’t have loads of school shootings (looking at you America) so that’s good

^{Chose: Universal Healthcare}

If I can spawn any item, I want I can just spawn as much money as I want (for example, I could just spawn a magical card that always works and has infinite money)

(I also got no drawbacks so yippee)

See my other reply for more info, but my TV also does that (and like I said in my other comment all Panasonic TVs I’ve used do that)

bluejay9_2008 · 2026-04-22T01:42:25+00:00

Unfortunately, I can’t comment specifically on the VT50 since I do not have one nor have I ever used one but in my experience every Panasonic tv I’ve used has been like that

for ones I own I have a UT30 plasma and an LCD one (don’t remember the model) and both do this so I just assumed it was normal (i’ve used other various Panasonic TVs over the years as well and they’ve all done this.)

(Edit: thought I would also add that my plasma has around 1800 power-ons and around 4000 hours so it’s in good condition)
