Red & Green TV Colors?

My 32" Zenith TV can only show red and green colors. The TV is under 5 years old. Can you tell me what could be the cause of this red and green color problem.

Loss of heater voltage for blue gun of CRT, failed heater filaments in CRT for blue gun, loss of blue drive caused by failed transistor or other similar fault.

If it's a bad CRT, it's not worth fixing, if it's a simple small failure, a shop could fix it pretty easily. Be sure to reset all the color controls first.

Sometimes a gentle whack will fix a problem like this if it's a poor internal connection.
