Game Plugs

What is wrong with the sound plugs on my tv?

I am talking about the white/red/ and yellow plugs for games and the dvd player. The one of the far left makes the screen flicker off and on from the game to the cable. Its loose or something. We plugged it in the back but it still happened. Everytime someone moves it does that. Thanks if anybody knows how to fix it. well how do I fix them? get a new tv? no its not the cable. It does the same thing with the Xbox,PS2 and the dvd player.

1. no they are busted
2. Try a new cable. They are usually more fragile than the connectors on the TV. They are also much cheaper! Try swapping with the DVD player cable just to test it -- if it works, then just get a new cable at Radio Shack/Best Buy/Circuit City... You don't need a new TV -- they are probably just loose and need to be re-soldered. If you don't know how to do this, ask your friends -- this is a really easy thing to solder. It is possible that you've bent the contact inside the jack on the TV, too, so you'd have to replace it then. Remove the cables and use a flashlight to see if the inside of the center hole looks different than other connectors. If it does, you'll have to replace them -- if not, they are just loose (see above).
3. could well be static thats interfereing here... hmmmm consult your tv's manufacturer for troubleshoot solutions... gd luck
