Zebra19. This problem is a common occurance in these sets. So common that there is a service bulliteen to service centers on it. Fixing it is not easy though. It ivolves 11 very very small micro capacitors. on what is known as the hypermodule. In an ideal world replacing the hypermodule is the best course of action. but.. these are almost impossible to find. if you are very good at soldering and have a lighted magnifer and very small twezzers it can be fixed. but if you damage the board....... i have done this repair about 6 times.. replacing them is what need to happen. 11 10 microfard surface caps

this is the hypermodule ... it is a board in a sheilded can that plugs in behind the input termals in the back. kind hard to get too. the caps are the small circular components that you see with the red and black marks on it.

My tv showed wavy tight lines til it warmed up, then became more and more clear. Over 3 mos. it took longer and longer. Today after 2 hours, It is still jumpy, w/ small sharp waves. Any ideas? If it will cost 3-400. I feel like getting a flat plasma.???
