The TV is 6 years old. One day we switched it on and there was no picture but we could hear the sound. When we switch it off there is a horizontal white bar that flashes on the screen for a second. I would like to fix it as the TV has been great so far. Please help!

- How much should it cost around (usd or cad)?? I don't want to be over billed
There is obviously no vertical deflection. Not a job for a handyman. Not likely to be worth the repair bill. There is, however, a few things you can check before you trash it.
UNPLUG it and take the back off. Visually inspect for anything obvious. You won't likely find anything you can deal with. If it has a vertical size adjustment control and you can locate it - you might try spraying some tuner cleaner on it - WITH THE THING UNPLUGGED.
Once you determine you can't do anything - don't waste a dime on a repair guy - put the repair cost into a new set. After 6 years - the thing has earned a decent burial. You have gotten your money's worth out it - don't throw good money after bad.
Sorry Cesare, Nothing you can do. Seek a professional's help! It looks like your TV's Vertical output Amplifier IC is blown or the Deflection coils have become Short circuit or Open circuit. It is not a job for an amatuer. Simple job for a trained TV technician. Should have the set up and running in 20 minutes.
