I don't know where rulds2008 gets his misinformation. (He also appears not to know the difference between horizontal and vertical. But I digress.)
There are no internal picture controls in your RCA TV. Adjustments are made using the remote control while in a special service menu. Simply trying to adjust the picture back to its proper location might work, if the adjustment range is sufficient. But the picture wouldn't have shifted in the first place unless there is some component in the TV that has failed or greatly changed value. The root cause needs to be found and corrected. This is something that needs to be done at a shop, and no shop is going to charge just "$15 bucks" to repair a TV. Expect to pay around a $50 estimate charge (applied to the repair, of course) up front these days.
As for the cause, I haven't had to deal with this problem on one of these sets yet so I can't suggest specific parts. But RCA sets were notorious for bad solder connections is many of their TV's that could cause this picture shifting, among other problems. It might be the same kind of trouble here.
This unit will need to be opened up to adjust that horizontal problem, There are 3 knob looking things in the unit with a phillips head adjust those until the screen moves up. I would not do it if you do not know how I would take it and pay $15 bucks to have it done. If you find this information useful? please rate Fixya if you still dont findit fixing the problem rate 1 knotch below fixya.
