There are horizontal lines running across top inch of the screen all the way from one side to the other. TV still watchable and works fine but am wondering if this is an easy fix. Only paid $200 for the set and don't want to pay more than $100 to repair. Thanks for your help. David in VA

I have this same problem.
Toshiba has a problem with these tv's

I also have the same problems with horizontal lines about 3" from the top. There should be a recall. Called store where it was purchased (in 2003/04) and they quoted $75.00 to pick up,$40.00 service charge and then the cost to fix it. If I could lift it and take it there, it might be worthwhile however that is impossible.
But buying another Toshiba is going to be out of the question.
Have another tv, Sanyo and never had a problem and it is over 10 yrs old.
Come on Toshiba, when there is a widespread problem like this it should be recalled.

I have the same problem with white horizontal lines across the top of the screen. The problem improves a little as the TV warms up. I sprayed cold spray on Q410 which appears to be a vertical drive transistor. Is this a good enough indictator that this is the faulty part? It's a cheap NTE54 and easy to get to. Any thoughts?

Usually answered in minutes!
Are the schematics posted here?? Does "refer to qualified" mean this is a job only for a repairman?
Thanks
I HAVE A TOSHIBA 27A43 TV WITH THE SAME HORIZONTAL LINES ACROSS THE TOP OF SCREEN-THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF TOSHIBA-ANY RECALL NOTICES??
Cactus,
I have the same problem with the 21" screen. My tube is about 3 yrs old now. Can you amplify on your solution a bit. What does it mean to dry out a capaciter? Could I do that without a service call. Is that capacitor on a plugin board or does it have to be soldered into the circuits. Do you suppose I could order the parts from the Toshiba folks and repair it myself? Is there some sort of repair manual on the web (like a pdf) where I could figure out where that is?

I have the same problem on my 2005 Toshiba 27AF45C the lines seem to spread farther down the screen from the top this is fricken B&(%$#*^T why is there no recall
I have exactly the same problem!
same problem on a 23inch
I have several horizontal white lines across my Toshiba 24AF43 and I only had it for 4 or 5 years. I think Toshiba builds these t.v.'s like pieces of **** so you have to keep buying new ones every 4 or 5 years so they can keep on making money! This is definitely the last Toshiba product I'll ever buy again!
I have a 27 inch Toshiba TV and I have white lines across the top approximately 3 inches. Annoying.
I also have a 27 inch Toshiba with white lines across the top approximately 3 inches. Very annoying. This was my first Toshiba brand and I will not buy another. This was very disappointing. I had looked quite a long time before buying this TV in 2005. I am surprised it did not last longer.
