When the TV is turned on the screen splits; top half shows on the bottom. Somtimes bottom half is black or snowy and the other times it's black all together. Thanks.

Re: Sony KV-27V36 27"
Sounds like you got a vertical foldover and could possibly be the vertical output IC but most likly its one of the waveshaper capacitors. This repair is one that alot of repair peeps swap out caps one by one to find the defective one and some use a cap checker but the right way is to use a scope to see the waveform aplitude and the shape of the waveform. This is not a user repair as this set will get repaired down to the componet level as np boards toreplace except for the sound. Take into the shop if you dont mind spending an average of 75 to 125 bucks for this repair
Good luck

top half missing is in vertical circuit of set---if it is a 27 inch and this old consider retiring it and replacing----other option is consider having a shop repair it--a rough guess would be as high as 150 dollars parts and labor is possible for your problems.
it sounds like one of your buffer boards are going bad. these are the boards that help put the picture on the screen. there are 2 boards an upper and a lower board. if you remove one and turn the tv on you will get half a screen. see then if you get the lines. please leave rating after you check.
I have seen this caused by 2 different problems. The vertical output IC could be bad but it is usually the CXA jungle IC that fails to cause this. Either way the set should be serviced by someone experienced in repairing Sony TV's.
It sounds as you desribe, the vertical output IC and or the b+ feed capacitor off the Hi voltage transformer feeding the vert. IC its required voltage. Not a really hard job to replace, but not for a handi person to do. This should be left to the professional, as there are no user serviceable parts inside this set and with the HI voltage and the safety issues its best to call somesone to assist you with this repair. Good Luck
You have a vert sweep problem and unless you know how to trouble shoot this cuircit bring it to a pro. I found out mostly in these sets that the vert output IC is bad.. Also sometimes the b+ filter cap off the fly is leaky and made the IC to fail. Another thing is Im surprised to hear you got a pic with the vert failure and a bright line in the pic!! This could be a big problem when the sets fixed so dont run it too long like this. It could burn a line all the way across the screen and you will see a dark faint line in your pic because of this. BE CAREFULL!!
