    I had inherited a similar one to that. Had to toss it when the audio stopped working, the color went beyond dim, the signal was all messed up, and it had magnetic damage (from the grand keeping his massive speakers on either side).

      From someone who made the screen trippier and trippier as a kid until he Icarus’d it, strong magnets taped to a drill bit and spun at high speed around the screen can degauss it. But this type of information basically has no application anymore

      Speaking of Icarus, the Parker Solar probe has made its closest approach to the sun this morning. It cut contact (as planned) on Monday and it’s probably reconnecting on Friday. That little guy is great. 3.8 million miles from the surface at 430,000mph.
