Riddled TV Repair Forum

[russ]

Hi,
I have a Samsung Dynaflat Pro 27" tv, believe it was manufactured in 2003.
Its been flickering constantly for the past month or so and not sure whats going on. You can hear it flicker/clicking from the back of the tv.
The menu at times becomes a fuzzy white lettering,flickers so much it will occasionally show what mode its in on screen like its reseting something. It also blacks out as well,and when it blacks out you can see colored blotching moving all around the screen.
You get the occasional white fuzz(and you can hear another channel for a brief second),and it also affects the sound. One minute its okay,then its muffled and you have to turn tv on/off to reset the volume. Ya,it also sometimes turns itself off as well,and when it does it resets all timers to zero...
I'm not sure its even worth fixing,but like to know whats the possible cause? short or something or lamp is going out?
