I love my set, but the other day, my house was hit by ltening. Now the sound is there, but the screen has different colored lines going from side to side. I know some about electronics. So I can switch out a board if I know what one to change out. Can anyone help me find the right boaed, and where to get it at? I would appreciate any help anyone can give. I love my tv, and am not compleate without it, PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks....
Does it look like the convergence is off? Like if the picture is in 3-D? You will need the 251166 convergence amp board, and or the 251170, convergence generator board. They are available as a rebuilt at PTS corp, They are located at http://www.ptscorp.com, or you can call them at 1-800-844-7871. Since this set was hit by lightning, Both boards are most likely bad and should be replaced. I am not sure of the cost of these boards in the rebuilt state, BUT the new boards, if they were still available from RCA, would cost you about 700 to 800 bucks. Good Luck

My friend it is the tv tunner that needs to be replace you will have to take your set to a repair shop for repairs.tv needs qualified tech to repair them.you might cause injury to your self.although you want to save money it is best to have a tech deal with your tv,than doing more damage to your tv and to yourself.it will cost you less on the longer run.good luck

take out your vertical board and replace it most likely it is defected.for the future it is best to post a full picture of the ongoing problem tormenting your tv.so that the online tech can see it.it also be your horizontal board.but you will still have to take your set to a tech for repairs.your problem is more technical than you think.

Tried that, I paid $100 for them to come tell me it would be over $1000 and they cant garranty that they can even fix it for that. A tuner I can replace, but I dont think that is it as it does switch inputs from tv to dvd and so forth. Thanks...
What is convergence? It does not have anything other than lines going from one side to the other, like the vert is off on an old tube tv. Not even the OSD (volume, channel, ect.) is showing up. The colors change with the picture, but you cant make anything out. The sound still works good. It does the same thing on all the inputs. When on DVD, and it would have a steady picture, the lines drop out every 2 seconds or so and go to black. Then the colored lines, nothing, colored lines, nothing ect... It would do this every time the power went out before, but ussually you could turn it off and on again and it would be fine. Not this time. The last advice was really good, but I dont think I described the problem well enough before. PLease help, Thanks.....
