Very wavy picture- gets worse when show has fast-cuts

Hello, I've had my Toshiba for about 4 years. About 6 months ago, I noticed the picute was slightly wavy when I turned the TV on and it went away a few seconds later. As time went by, the seconds turned to minutes. Now the screen is always wavy but viewable (unless we're watching a shot that has tons of cuts- it's like the TV cannot keep up with the picture!) after being warmed up for about 30 minutes. I've called a few repair people and am getting so many possibilities for issues that could be causing this. Some say it's the convergence box, others say it's some card inside (that has something to do with the HD, which we don't use) that can go bad and is very costly to fix. I'm not a tech-expert by far and want someone to try to assist me before I start shelling about $$$ to get someone out here. Is there some testing I can do to check and see if it's the convergence that's the issue? Thanks!

First thing Do not beleive peeps about a bad card. Modules are not used in TV sets any more unles your talking about a complete board change out for a Zenith TV set. Toshiba sets do not have a card or board changeout!.. These peeps are crooks! A Toshiba set is repaired to componet level. It sounds like you may have a convergence problem or a problem inj the power supply involving the filter or couping capacitors. Seek out a pro whos an authorized servicer for Toshiba.

Sony gv-27v42 27" tv picture cuts out after a few minutes

Vertical lines down the center only means that you have a loose connection on the Yoke. Re solder all the connection on the yoke and where the yoke connection meets the main board.

Is my Toshiba 57H81 worth repair?

Bounce horizontally usually means up and down,which relates

to the vertical output IC. Solder IC301, IC401 pin connects==try

again.You can easily isolate "bounce" problems by lightly

tapping on the vertical IC heatsink....Let me know if you need

further assistance.....T.

PS. Though hard to find, a qualified tech could do that repair

in home for 300. to 400.00...

Wavy picture

this is caused by a bad convergence module, and there are probably some dried out electrolytic caps in the circuit as well. i have one in the shop right now that came in with the same problem. if you have it serviced, make sure they replace all of the convergence modules (there are usually 2, but sometimes 3 of them), because if one went bad the other(s) is likely to go out soon as well.
