This thread keeps making me laugh...
I think the fact that he thought of removing the ground in the first place is what is making me smile the most...
Hey... As long as the cabinet is made of plastic, what could go wrong....?
Roach... If your TV is connected to "cable TV", it is seeing "ground" off the shield of the coax. What you were probably seeing is the difference between the AC ground and the "cable" ground.
I'll say it again.... Removing the AC ground path on a device designed to have one should be an absolute last resort when problem solving. Using a "cheat" to troubleshoot something is one thing... but removing it altogether is asking for a shocking experience someday, for someone.
