Offhand, you description would indicate an about to fail component in the vertical deflection circuitry; to be more specific the pump-up capacitor. A most likely possibility is that the capacitor have started to dry up or leaking and therefore would require replacement. This would be C407, a 100uF / 35V electrolytic capacitor. Please note that this component has a polarity and the replacement must be soldered back in in a similar orientation.
Since the unit is open, might as well check conditions of C406, C408 and C409 (unlikely but worth the efforts).
Options then are:
consider a DIY (do-it-yourself) repair if and only if very familiar with electronic components & circuitry, use of a DVM/VOM, a soldering iron/station and safe working practices with high voltages. Access to a Service Manual or at the very least, a schematic diagram would be a necessity;
should you be uncomfortable with a DIY, perhaps your best bet would then be to seek the services of an authorized Toshiba Service Center (specially if still under some form of extended warranty) or a qualified professional.
Good luck and thank you for asking FixYa.

I have the same issues with the white lines at the top of the television...however, I also have an issue with the television "dripping" almost continously! A vertical "drip" almost on every channel! Would this be due to the same "cap?" OR, something else? Thanks for any advice or help in advance!!!!
