My TV has lines throughout the whole picture

Line Defects On Vizio TV Screens

Are they wavy lines throughout the picture or are they just wavy on the side? Waving picture is usually caused by poor power supply filtering. Wavy lines throughout the picture are caused by interference. Try moving the device away from the computer with an extension USB cable it may be picking up interference from the surrounding electronic devices. It could also be defective.

it was a t-con board failure.

a model number may tell me more===trace lines at a slight angle?

At first the picture is ok, and then distorted with horizontal lines i thinks. If the horzontal lines are parellel acros the screen, with an inch apart across the whole screen, your tv needs screen adjustments. Screen voltage may be high. look into the crt base also. Change it first. These also not resolve the problem, LOT may be faulty, with respect to screen focus pack. May need replacement. Try first setting screen voltage to a lower settings and observe.

Tried push the FOCUS buton on the remote or tried convergence aligment,R,G,B colors lines don't lines up,picture have colors shadows or 3D pictures?The tv have a convergence pronlems,it dead.The tv convergence board is dead.Try website like Tvrepairworld.com to buy a whole convergence board for the replacement.The AKAI/SAMSUNG tvs are using the same convergence board.

In most of the case, the problem is a defective LCD panel, if is it, there is not worth to fix.

tv has red & blue converge problem,tried to fix it with remote by multipoint lining the t,s up didn,t help

I had this problem around the time my TV was 3 years old. I ended up having to get it repaired at a TV repair place, it cost me $375.

Is good that you hit it and it reacts,very likely you have loose conections in different places but for the distorted picture you need to check the horizontal driver transformer and flyback after that is corrected you need to check the complete chassis for loose conections.Take your time.Good luck.
