Re: Rca tv problem, can I do this for a fix?

x-no-archive:yes

Are you calling the shield the cover to the tuner?

I have a gun not the pencil tip kind but I can get one.

I have limited income due to a baby and would like to fix it myself.
Plus the tv is very heavy.

Since it gets better when wiggeling the rf connector, could this be the
only problem?
