Lines across the top

you need to replace few capacitors in vertical deflection area of tv.

Hi,

Diagonal (left to right) lines on the top of the screen is an indicator that a capacitor in the vertical section is about to fail. it has lost its capacitance. This of course would require a fair familiarity of electronic components/circuitry and safety procedures, use of a DVM and a soldering iron. It would be to your added advantage access to a service manual or at the very least a schematic diagram with voltage readings. Should you be uncomfortable performing a DIY (do-it-yourself), perhaps your best bet would then be to seek the services of a qualified professional.

Additionally, pls bear in mind that the Toshiba MW27FP1 is a combination VCR/DVD/TV and chances are there would be a myriad of printed circuit boards, wirings and mechanical assemblies internally.

If you are still considering a DIY and have the service manual/schematic diagram accessible, pls post back.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

i would say interferiance or also can be a capacitator inside or a malfuntion you should take it to a tv repair guy it is not so costly just for a check up or a service

Possibly interference?

If it is not the verticals, Its the tube inside that's malfunctioning.

Turn off the TV and unplug the power for 50 minutes. Turn it on again.
