Sony FD Trinitron; KV-27FV310 (over 2 yrs old) TV was working fine, then all of a sudden....Bam! I could only see half the picture. Horizontal line half way down cutting out/off top of what actually should be seen on the screen. Bottom portion viewing is good. Top potion is black. Never had issues with TV for past two years. Connect to cable.
Sarge, it sounds like the vertical output IC went bad on you. If it was a bad connection or a bad capacitor, your picture would have been a straght line across the screen. They call the output section of the IC a push-pull type of amp, so the top half of the sweep IC went out. If you have had some soldering experience, and or experience with solid state repair, locating the bad IC and replacing it is no big deal. If you havent, stay safe and call in a pro to assist you in this repair, as there is alot of high voltage inside this puppy that is still present even if the set is unplugged. It should not cost an arm or a leg to repair this set. An honest repair on a set like this if you take it in should not exced 125 to 150 bucks. Good Luck PS Please dont forget to rate this thread.
Follow techmans advice. A vetical timebase failure like this is not bad and should not take a Serviceman long to fix, and therfore should not cost too much, if he has the all important service sheet, or circuit diagram and an oscilloscope. Line/horizontal timebase failure is much more serious, as this is the primary source of power and would cost more.
SOURCE: 1/3rd of Bottom portion of Screen is blacked out
sound like you have cloced caption text on, this is not the same as the normal cloced caption, look on your rempte for caption or "cc". if you don't see it you will find it in your menu & turn it off. have a good day.

The set has a vertical deflection problem, the vertical ic and a few capacitors will need to be replaced to restore the tv to normal function.

Watching TV, suddenly lost top half of picture. Top of picture is black. Bottom half is normal, with a bright line separating the two.
Same as above. Half the screen is black with a bright line in the center. Is there a Step by Step instructions on how to fix it yourself. Please advise, as with nowaday prices, one may as well purchase a new TV set for the price you'd pay to get it repaired.
