Re: Toshiba TV problem?

Thanks for the replies and advice but I haven't quite figured out how to
start without either killing myself or trashing the TV. One or two things
I've read say to just short out the caps and picture tube. Then I read all
this stuff about using certain resistors to do it. Like this:

For the CRT, use a high wattage (not for power but to hold off the high
voltage which could jump across a tiny 1/4 watt job) resistor of a 1 to 10 M
ohms discharged to the chassis ground connected to the outside of the CRT -
NOT SIGNAL GROUND ON THE MAIN BOARD as you may damage sensitive circuitry.

Do I need to go to an electronics store and buy some resistors before I
start and if so what do I want?

that is just overkill. unless youre planning to remove the big line
transformer then you needn't short out anything. just leave the set
unplugged for a few hours or even overnight and you will be fine,
just don't touch the big red wire going to the sucker on the tube!
