TV experts asked - green / white snow image for 0.5 seconds?

Dr

Evening to all!

One question to the TV experts, the following facts:

For some time now I've noticed a phenomenon while gambling (PS4), and I have now and then for half a second - one second at most a white snow picture or two times a green snow picture - yes, in fact, like, as if the TV has a normal snow image - only in green (did not know that there's such a thing).

However, both PS4 and TV works great for years, otherwise no errors and this issue occurs as I said very very briefly, as if the signal is disturbed for a brief moment - it comes to each "session" only once, never several times,

One must say: We live directly at the transformer on the roadside, an electrician said some time ago that current spikes, voltage fluctuations or electromagnetic interference would occur due to this and therefore lamps etc. Can influence. Above all, the electromagnetic fields can probably interfere with HDMI signals.

After my observations, it comes only to "short" after I turned on the power strip, about 10-15 minutes after that, if I simply start the power strip for several days, nothing happens. Of course that's just my observation.

It does not bother me much, but of course comes the concern that TV or PS4 are about to give up the ghost, but otherwise everything works perfectly. The error occurs since about the end of April.

Would be happy about enlightenment, I thank you in advance in advance:-)

So

The T-Con module is broken

Dr

What is this exactly?

Ch

That is an interesting observation. I think rather less that the transformer is the problem but rather type in the situation of the wiring in the house.

When is the house from? And more important? When about the electrics?

I'm careful to say that you still have the classic nullung! That Neutral and protective conductors are not laid separately but are used together…

verusch first a multiple connector strip with mains filter and overvoltage protection. Is it then, I would say it is a network problem… Is it just the question of where it comes from exactly…

PS: are your lights flickering or something like that? 'Or do they darken when you turn on big devices?

Dr

The house was actually rebuilt around 1950 and the electronics are accordingly old, I already have a power strip with overvoltage protection because our bulbs are burned out regularly or sometimes they really burst when you turned on the light,

The flickering in the kitchen is the case, when the boiler comes on and heats up water, then the light in the kitchen gets darker!

What comes to mind is that when I turn on the same power strip our floor lamp, that then both TVs in the room for about 3 seconds reception and are silent, even though the other TV is at the other end of the room. Pretty suspicious, but I also suspect it's the wiring.

However, it has never broken anything in the 10 years that I live here, except light bulbs and a floor lamp! Accordingly, it can (hopefully) not permanently be problematic for the devices, right?

Ch

I'm worried less about the equipment than about you. For the construction year, it can be safely assumed that this is the classic nullification. This means that neutral and protective conductors are the same. So now if this so-called neutral (PEN) is interrupted, then automatically the protective contact and thus everything that is connected to it, for example. The housing of waffle iron tension!

you should urgently check all junction boxes, etc!

Dr

My partner and I are pretty sure that my former landlords (now deceased) said that they had made everything in the apartment shortly before our move in (2010), ie electricity, renovation stop:-). However, I will definitely submit your proposal to my new landlords. We definitely use a socket with surge protection at said socket - I just do not know anything about mains filters.

Worth mentioning would be synonymous but that the affected TV only has an HDMI port, connected to it is a distributor to which Nintendo Switch and PS4 are connected, the signal can be changed with a switch, I have, however, not for 2 months more touched:-).

Could it possibly be related?

As for the wiring, as I said, I live here since 2010 and we had no other problems except for a few light bulbs.

Ch

The devices connected to the TV are all connected to the same multi-pin connector?

Dr

Exactly, all at the same socket, together with a lamp that I never turn on, because the TV reception bothers for a few seconds, if I turn it on or off:-), are connected so PS4, Nintendo Switch, TV and lamp, Maybe that also plays a role?
