I just got this email from my sister in which I will post her quotes directly. I think it's obvious something in the audio circuit fried in the TV but is there any particular common failure when this happens? The TV is just a simple 25-27" regular CRT TV, now quite a few years old.
" sat down briefly to eat some lunch and turned on the tv while munching. All of a sudden I heard a slight snap and the voice was gone. I dubbed with it trying to see what was wrong. I could not decide whether it was something to do with my Direct TV or the television, itself. The light bulb went on inside my head and I ran upstairs to turn on my little bedroom tv. I figured if I had sound there, it was the tv that was on the fritz and not Direct tv. Well, guess what??? The television voice comes on upstairs so it has to be in my RCA set...... Do you know what it might be internally? Do you think that it is a simple thing or is it just my luck.... the tv is dying? The picture comes in great! Can use the DVD player & VCR as long as I listen upstairs."
