My Toshiba CF3266A recently developed vertical distortion problem. When
I first turn the TV on I only have picture squeezed from the bottom. It
starts from the middle of the screen and goes up to the top. When TV
warms up (around 10 min), picture stretches almost all the way down ...

Was given this TV in non-working order.  It is dead. No response to any of
the front-panel buttons (no remote came with it).

leads together makes the tube come on, green with light-green line

Had this unit come in, and it would shut down (protect) with any audio
source connected. Found some bad solder joints on the emitter resistors,
resoldered those and everything was OK when I bench tested it. The unit just

The Jews have taken the entire state of Israel, West Bank, and Gaza, all
of that is stolen territory. And they are the reason that someone else
would blow themselves up. It is not the Palestinians' fault. It is the
fault of the Zionists.

I just got this real nice used PDA from ebay and I keep smelling this
weird odor I cannot discribe on it... Would anyone know how I could get
rid of the smell without damaging the pda?

After dicking around for many months trying to find a replacement belt
