Zenith B25A30ZC television Can't Post
Our color tv has periodically started to show a black box that takes up the lower half of the screen and it puts gibberish characters in the black box a few every few seconds. If you change the channel it goes away, but can periodically (and seemingly randomly) come back.
What the hell is causing this? The tv is quite old (maybe 15 years). Is it just at its end, or is there something we can do to easily rectify the black box and gibberish from showing up?
Thanks!

Yes: go into the menu or remote and turn off your closed caption feature and it will be gone and not return.

Oh, I hope it's that easy. Smile

Thanks, Zip! I'll post back if that doesn't take care of it. Any idea what the heck it is? I wondered if it was something to do with closed captioning, but no idea why it would have a half-screen black box with white gibberish in it.

Yep, that's what it was alright. Our toddler daughter must have gotten hold of the remote and accidentally turned CC on. So, we've turned it off and so far no more black box! Thanks, guys!
