The tech repaired my television yesterday! It took him over an hour. He says the wavy picture, especially at start-up, is a normal problem causes by standard usage. He replaced the trasister board. He removed the back of the set and used a hot gun to remove and then replace the items. This was not a Do-it-yourself job. Unfortunately the Tech took the papers with him and I can't recall all of the part numbers.
There are about 6 or 7 surface mount capacitors 10mf/16v that cause the symptom you are having. They are located under the shield of the hyper module. The hyper module is located behind the input jack panel in the back. The module is vertically mounted and can be removed from its socket. However you must first unsolder the 4 anchor tabs of the shield first. Thats the easy part. Removal and replacement of the capacitors requires precise and excellent soldering skills. This job should be left to someone who has done this a few times. Hope this info helps.

when the tv is first turned on the picture is real distorted and it gets better but never fully
I have the same problem and have tested cable input and the problem is with the set. The picture is horrible when first turned on then improves to a point however lines and lettering seem to wiggle or become distorted.
I have the same problem. The picture is horrible when first turned on then improves after a few minutes. However lines and lettering seem to wiggle or become distorted. I also followed the troubleshooting guide and tested the inputs. Luckily the set is still under warrenty, barely. Tech said he had to order 10-12 parts and return for install. I will post the items when the tech returns to complete the repair.
I have a similar problem with my 5yr old TV. arwilson mentioned 6-7 capacitors on the hyper board.
Does anyone know exactly what #'s these caps are?
Tearing and ripping at top of screen improves with time, but to the point where it does not provide a clear picture.
I have the same problem, when you first turn the set on the picture appears scrambled after awhile it clears up some with lines running through it and wavy.All writing is so blurry you cant read it.
My Toshiba has the similar problem, very wavy when first turned on then clears up after an hour or 2, better on HD channels than standard.
