Question about RCA 27F530T 27" TV

Top four inches of screen running horizontal is distorted.

The RCA 27" truflat screen top four to five inches have static lines running horizontally. It makes it difficult to view the top portions of the screen. Most of the heads of pictures are distorted. The TV is only three years old and began the issue about a year ago. I have recently updated the cable and even changed to direct TY, but the problem persist. Help please.

The problem is most likely in the vertical circuit, possibly the vertical IC itself or one of the feeder caps in that circuit. Could be possible poor solder connections on the IC also. Is the problem intermittent? There are a number of common problems with this unit effecting the following parts: Dp027 (27v Zener) P/N 244835 Tp022 (Bc648) P/N 198743 Tp025 (Bc558) Ip001 P/N 257786 Ip050 Ic Voltage Regulator , Zener Diode With 3 Legs Looks Like Diode.

Being a certified technician there are few TV's that I would tell a customer to walk away from if they were considering a purchase - but this is one of them. I'm sorry for such a negative review, please don't take it out on my rating for this solution. But if you have it repaired take it in yourself and save a few bucks - and ask the shop to save all the old parts for you. Good Luck Bill
