Vertical problem I own a Hitachi 36fx49b t.v. set. Recently the t.v. has a horizontal, bright line through the middle of the screen and no picture. The set is too old to hire a t.v. repairman so I would appreciate any input or solution that a knowledgeable do-it-yourselfer, like me, could use, to fix the problem.

joel mcmackin Apr 07, 2007

Pravin, Obviously if I knew solid state electronics I would be a t.v. repairman myself. What i do know is economics, and it doesn't make any sense to pay someone more than the set is worth to replace it. Therefore, if you would like to be helpful try telling me where this vertical output oscillator can be found inside the t.v., and how to replace it. Thank You.

p.s. another thing I know is how to spell "know".

Joel, you may be a knowledgeable do-it-yourselfer, but do you know solid stae Electronics servicing. From the description of your problem, it looks like the Vertcal oscillator / output IC has failed. If you knoe S S Electronics, replace.

Glad to know that you can spell 'know' well. Only thing is, i see reason for you to take umbrage at my statements. It is not neccesary that all people who know solid State Electronics end up as TV technicians. there are hobbyists who do have the knowledge, and that was the focus of my comment.
It was in good faith, and with every good intention.
I will give you the part no. for the set tommorow, after i have studied its Schematics.

Line across middle of screen, rest of screen black

The problelm is a defective vertical deflection system. Could be the amplifier, vertical output driver or whole printed board that supports the vertical deflection activity. It is considered to be a serious failure.
The cost of repair will be around $200 to $300.

Horizontal lines on picture

Can't advise on entering setup but the lines may be due to the maladjustment of the brightness control on the flyback. There will normally be two adjusters, one for focus the other for brightness.

Tv not working

this symptom, sometimes called the tube light effect, it is characterised by a bright thin horizontal line across the middle of the screen. this symptom is caused by a breakdown in the vertical deflection circuit. hence maybe the trouble maybe in the vertical oscillator, amplifier or output circuits. but if all i have said is not clear to you, better bring it to a qualified tv technician. good luck!

No Picture On Screen and red line in middle.

The set has a vertical problem if the line you mention is from side to side ,if the line is from top to bottom the problem is in the horizontal circuit and both can be repairable,a vertical fairlure is a common problem,the vertical IC goes bad and it takes a safety resistor with him to prevent any more damage,the horizontal is rare but it happens too,if you are familiar with tv service you can change the IC but you will need a service manual to identify the part,you can get a manual overnight if you downloaded it at www.servicemanuals.net,if you are not too familiar you should seek the help of a servicer for safety reasons.Let Us know how it goes or if you need more information.
