I will try and answer yours, then I have one.

Is your TV an RCA? I had one in my bedroom a couple of years ago and it would do the same thing- the picture would get really fuzzy or go out, but when I would wiggle the cord around or mess with the back, it would get better (for awhile).

I took it to the shop and they said it was some defect with the junk (metal?) that the connections (or whatever) were soldered with. They would start to break down or come loose over time. They re-soldered everything and it was fine after that. May not be your deal, but the guy who fixed mine said he was constantly having people bring theirs in for the same thing.



Now here's my question- I have a gas cooktop with four burners. It has the automatic starter thing that clicks and makes a little spark when you turn the knob to light the burner. A couple of hours ago the fucker started "clicking" all by itself, like it's trying to light. No gas or anything... just click, click, click, over and over. I took the little caps off and tried wiping where the starter thing was on each burner, and it obviously gets electricity to it because it shocked the hell out me, lol.

I will have to call someone tomorrow, but it's driving me nuts right now. Plus, I'm kind of scared to go to bed with it doing that. I looked for a breaker to the stove top, but couldn't find one.

Anyone got any suggestions???
