My old CRT TV has finally given up the ghost. It seems to be in the HV section.
I doubt it is worth fixing especially since I have not cracked a set open in years and there would be a huge relearning curve to fix it. Not to mention sourcing the schematics and the parts.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday is coming so I guess I can watch my smaller TV till then.
But before I kick it to the curb I was wondering in there was anything worth salvaging. I mainly mess with MCU projects so not sure what in there I can use.
One thing I thought of was the IR sensor and maybe the circuit for the remote.
As I said I have not opened a set in years. Do TVs have power transformers or do they use switching power supplies?
Any other ideas on what can be slavaged?
