the kids got to hear static and the high pitched whine, but it now is just furniture for a center speaker.

I'll try to get it fixed eventually!

I assume you tried "giving it a good ol' slap"?

I'm not familiar with the specific model, but most CRT TVs used to have a secret "slap-activated self-repair mechanism", normally installed in one of the top corners. You just give it a good slap and it magically starts working again.
