RCA TV worth trying to repair?

My kids have a 23 or 25" RCA type. Low cost unit.

It stopped showing color. All is in black and white. The menus and the channel number in the corner are all in color, so I guess they are added in.

I am using CATV input. So the problem I am guess could be in that module there? I know a few of you guess are master TV guys.

Thanks. I can get the model number if needed. I would also say it is maybe 5-7 years old.

Perhaps the colour burst crystal is bad? It's dirt cheap to replace even if it's still okay.

A "color" control (or menu item) turned all the way down?

There was an entire series of RCA chassis that had soldering issues. Caused a myriad of problems. See if yours falls into the number range:

Thanks for the ideas.

Color burst should not be hard to find and I have some real old one somewhere.. Will check the RCA repair list as well.

And I did check color control. Tried changing the presets. It is something actually broken.

(Maybe I read the question wrong, but...)

Does the TV pick up over-the-air signals in color or black and white? Are you using component cables to route the video signal to the box? Could just be a bad cable or connection.

Just thought I would state the simple. Hope it helps.
