Yeah you guys are scaring the hell out of me now :shock: I didn't even know before. I just opened it up and started messing around. At first I was a bit reluctant and used a plastic ruler then I started using my bare hands. Now I'm afraid to put it back together lol. I'm going to just leave it the way it is hahah. Interesting thought, maybe that's the problem with it; it doesn't hold voltage which is why it didn't shock me. Which is a bit funny because the problem with it was that it didn't kill me.

Yes, definitely put it back together, and take it to a repair shop.

Didn't want to start a new thread, so here is my TV woe:

Googled this problem left and right, and it seems that it's time to pony up and get a new set.
Any suggestions?

Get a new TV and a new camera.

Yes, the TV looks to be pretty shot. You might be able to get a repair shop to do something to correct it but it'd probably be easier to just get a new one.

Well, I've tried yelling at it, tried cursing at it, tried insulting it, even tried to give it a little positive reinforcement. Nothing has worked. Maybe I'll try beating it.

It's getting worse as time passes, the lines are now almost across the entire screen. Since Circuit City doesn't exist anymore, I can't get a refund (as far as I know).
