Strange TV problem - any techie people here?

Nope, sorry, sounds permanent. CRT + magnet = TV death. Still, maybe you could get a bargain in the sales

Gaah thought it would be but hoped I would be wrong. Totally bad timing, was planning to get a nice new one next year and dont have the money spare right now. I blame H, he was looking after her and we still have no idea where she got the magnet from!

Sorry, how rude of me, thank you!

If it helps, my darling 3 year old has done the same today, but with 2 TV's!!! eldest left his magnets out, we were not chuffed!

My husband is still going spare over it.

Don't you just love them sometimes.

This article might help, but I've only skimmed it.

If you get a TV bloke out he should be able to demagnatise it. My ex's dad did it to our TV once when one side went strange colours after a thunderstorm.

Hmmm

Dr shoes says as long as you leave it off they should go away..

has your tv got a degauss button??

If not then sales it is - nice excuse to buy a flashy one

My children have done this as well. Thankfully not for long and so we turned it off and left it a few minutes and the mark has gone.

Hope they disappear!

Thanks everyone for you responses. Seems its not as unusual problem as I thought! I cant see who posted but to the person that had two tv damaged, OOOPS! I thought I had it bad!

Mr JK, thanks for the link, I will read that when horror angel goes to be.

The poster that asked about the button, Im not sure, but I wil have a look, thanks for that.

I hate new hitched, feel so rude!
