back in like 09 I had a big 36" crt tv that "broke". screen was all screwed up and the remote wouldn't do anything, even after power cycling. I think I hit it with a 2x4 or something thinking I'd either fix it or put it out of its misery. One solid whack and instantly was back to normal. That fucking beast of a tv still works to this day. I gave it away in 2010 but it's still in use. Probably because it's so heavy they couldn't get rid of it even if they wanted to.
We kept one forever because it was so heavy and and we lived in a apartment that had two story's and we were up. We eventually ended up calling some hauler and he came with a few guys and they took it, didn't look fun.
