Is it worth repairing ~8 years old JVC K-series 29" TV. If the screen is receiving 16x9 theater broadcast, lines are not at the top of the screen. If it's a standard tv show full screen, about ~10 white lines appear, not real bad, but enough to be annoying.
Stationed in Europe and not sure if to purchase Flat Panel and worry about shipping it back when returning to U.S, or to hold off and just fix this one to last ~8 more months

If your LCD TV or monitor has stopped working, or is displaying one of the following
symptoms, then it's a candidate for some new capacitors
- Flickering screen
- Screen image disappears after several seconds
- Dim screen
- Slow start
- Power LED on, but no picture
- Unusual colors and/or lines
The primary cause of LCD TV and monitor failure is caused by faulty capacitors. You can
examine the capacitors in your LCD TV or monitor and actually see if they are bad.
If they appear bulged on top, then they need to be replaced.
New capacitors will solve a host of problems in LCD monitors and TV's and will extend the life
of your monitor or TV by several years.

it sounds to me like your tube has gone , go to your local tv repair shop and order a new tube its quite cheap to do so and they should be able to get it you quite fast.
Vertical defection failure. Common failure. Pretty easy to
repair ($50-75?). However, my general rule of thumb is not to
waste any more money on TVs over 10 years old. Too much other
stuff in there ready to fail as well.
Dear simon,
Seems like a simple problem. In all likelihood, one of the Electrolytic Capacitors in the vertical Output stages has failed.It could also be a cold / dry solder, as symptoms seem to disappear when you tap the set.
But, do not try anything thing at home. A proffessional Techie should fix it up in 15-20 mins.
Definitely worth the spend.
i have white thin lines from top to bottom on my tv screen and the picture looks like it's sorta white like when water is white before it turns clear.
Cost about $65 and works. Thank you.
