I thought all modern telly's are colour?

[Slatovski]

Hi,
Hope you can help me. I have an Hitachi C32WD2TN tv, and it has always been a good telly since i got it(many years ago), but for some reason the picture is now only black and white. It seems to rectify itself after an hour or so, and once again preduces a great picture. Ive put all new scarts on and even tried the Fonzerly trick,( If you remember it?) but no good.

Cheers John

Try to adjust the 4,43 Mhz trimmer from Pal osc. (near to 4,43 quartz)

Thanks for the help, but try and do what to what? Can I adjust it easily just take the back off and go for it?

Cheers

Can you solder? I wouldn´t try to adjust the trimmer first, but add another 4,43 Mhz quartz parallel to the old one. ( There should be a silver part which is a little higer than the rest, near to a IC(which is a black part with many legs) which has a number starting 4.43 (or maybe 8.86) on it)
Good luck
