The whole picture is a thin horizontal line. I can tap the TV and the whole picture will come back but them goes away. after about 20 minutes the tv seems to be fine. Is it worth getting fixed? I am pretty handy can I fix it myself?
IT SOUNDS LIKE A VERT. COLLAPSE. IT MIGHT BAD CONNECTIONS IN THER VERT. DEFLECTION.

Defective components in vertical deflection and output circuit inclusive of vertical output device, coupling capacitors, and yoke connectors. Passive devices such as electrolytic capacitors, coils, and resistors to/from power supply circuits. If your tele is more than 10 years old dump it and get a newer product. $100 USD is a fair price to diagnose and attempt service, depending on age and configuration. Older products may not have replacment parts available at any repair cost. There may be a pot for adjusting the vertical size. If so, it may be dirty. If you can find it, try adjusting it which could clean it. BE CAREFUL -voltages are very high.

Thats almost definately bad solder connection. look at solder joints for cracks around teh lead. better yet, suck outold solder and put in new on any connections that have anything larger than a standard resistor lead. yoke plugs, tuner, etc

CHECK FOR BAD SOLDER JOINTS IN THE VERTICAL SECTION, CHECK JOINTS ON VERTICAL OUT IC FIRST

the whole picture is a thin horizontal line. Started yesterday. I turned it off and unplugged the television, waited a few minutes, turned it back on and the entire picture was there as it should be. Came home today and it's doing it again. What's wrong?
