You are welcome sir. Definition of "Bricked" provided by Urban Dictionary: Usually the result of tampering with the insides and doing irreversible damage. Bricking your hardware leaves you with a new paperweight. Can be the end effect of a faulty flash or firmware update, a modification (mod) gone bad or being struck by lighting, to name a few. I changed the Read/Write access to a system folder while trying to install the Android Market. I did not change the settings back before resetting the Fire. When the system would try to reboot, it would tell me that it had to format the App Folder (If I am correct, that is what it said) then restart. I would clear the folder, restart, and tell you, once again, that it had to format the App folder. It was an endless loop. I had two options: 1 - Get/Create a factory Mini-B cable to load the device into recovery mode and fix the problem. 2 - Return the device and get another one. I choose option 2 due to the fact that I did not want to wait to get the cable or the parts to make the cable in the mail. So I exchanged it for a Nook Tablet, which has twice the space, a MicroSD slot, a better screen (Supposedly), and longer lasting battery for $50 extra. I ended up exchanging to for another Nook Tablet last night due to the fact the screen stopped working...which probably had to do with me dropping it a couple times...lol. I have a new one and a case for it that should protect it well if I drop it anymore. lol Though I do need to root it and install the Android Market on it. I have to wait though...my Windows XP computer will not copy the Apps to the system, but my Windows 7 computer will...but my brother has it. It is a very good thing that I have a lot of patience. lol So...Back to the original topic... I do not remember if the TV had the problems before I changed the coolant. I rarely used it at the time. It was also hard to notice the problems due to the fact that I never tried using component cables until a couple months after fixing the TV. Yes, I did clean the lens, the casing, and the CRT with LCD cleaner and a micro fiber cloth. Yes, blurry. When looking through the lens at the CRT, the image on the blue CRT is blurry as if it is out of focus. I have tried adjusting the nob that adjusts the focus of the Blue CRT, but no matter how I adjust it, the image is blurry. If I remember, I will take the CRT out before going to bed to drain and take apart tomorrow night to clean the lens. I just have to remember to pick up some Windex. As for the Jeopardy game, would it work with a recording, or would a still image that represents the Jeopardy game work?
