I’m still rocking an old CA tv (it’s missing the R). It’s an L32WD12. It does 1080i.
Someone I knew bought it for over a thousand bucks back in the mid 2000s and one day half of the picture went black so they gave it to me.
A cable in the back of the tv was heating up and shrinking and disconnected itself. I took off the aluminum heat shield (which is what seemed to be causing the problem) and stuck a piece of a credit card in there between the cable and the connector to hold it down, taped the cable so it wouldn’t move much. I have been using it since about 2009. I’ve had to push the cable down a few times, so I just busted a hole in the back so I wouldn’t have to take it apart any more.
