Horizontal lines across the top of the screen (by 4 users)

posted by jacobson98 on May 02, 2007

There are horizontal lines running across top inch of the screen all the way from one side to the other. TV still watchable and works fine but am wondering if this is an easy fix. Only paid $200 for the set and don't want to pay more than $100 to repair.

Thanks for your help.

Are the schematics posted here?? Does "refer to qualified" mean this is a job only for a repairman?

Thanks

Cactus,
I have the same problem with the 21" screen. My tube is about 3 yrs old now. Can you amplify on your solution a bit. What does it mean to dry out a capaciter? Could I do that without a service call. Is that capacitor on a plugin board or does it have to be soldered into the circuits. Do you suppose I could order the parts from the Toshiba folks and repair it myself? Is there some sort of repair manual on the web (like a pdf) where I could figure out where that is?

I also have the same problems with horizontal lines about 3" from the top. There should be a recall. Called store where it was purchased (in 2003/04) and they quoted $75.00 to pick up,$40.00 service charge and then the cost to fix it. If I could lift it and take it there, it might be worthwhile however that is impossible.
But buying another Toshiba is going to be out of the question.
Have another tv, Sanyo and never had a problem and it is over 10 yrs old.
Come on Toshiba, when there is a widespread problem like this it should be recalled.
