I have about a 1 inch picture going across my screen. I use be able to tap the top and it would come back on. Now it's a straight line.
If you were able to tap on the set to get it working, then it means that the solder joints on the vertical output IC are cracked and loose. This is very common on those sets. Now, the pins of the IC could be so loose that they just wont work anymore, and simply resoldering the pins of the IC will cure your problem. However, it could also be that the loose pins have caused the IC to short out inside, in which case the IC will have to be replaced and most likely a small resistor in its power supply too. If you do not have experience working on things like that in TV sets, allow a qualified tech to handle it for you.
