I have a Magnavox 27 inch television set with just a horizontal line in the middle when turned on. The sound and even the channel changer works. I would like to know if this is a costly repair, or is there something that I could do to fix this?
There's a burned mark on the circuit board takes about 10 min ti fix cost aroun 100.00

This is how I fixed my TV:

From your description of the problem, there seems to be a Cold solder in the Vertical Oscillator or Deflection Coil circuits.
If you know Solid State electronics, and are good with a soldering Iron, sure u can do this yourself.
U
gotta trace the Vertical section components and locate the cold solder.
In most cases it will be a loose connector from the Deflection coil to
the main PCB.Also check for the soldering of the Vertical output IC.
I checked out with my friend's tv the exact Location of the problem: This resistor is mounted
On the CRT circuit board(picture tube), you will find R3340, which is a
10 ohm 1/3w resistor. The location of the resistor is printed on the
bottom of the ckt board. It is burned open, replace with a 10 ohm 1/2w
resistor. This will solve your problem. The original resistor was sized
too small, should have been a 1/2 watt.
standing up on ends. Mount the replacement resistor the same way. You
can probably get the resistor at your local Radio Shack. You will
probably have to buy a package of 5, but what the hey . . . they are
cheap.
Be careful and don't get the circuit trace too hot and damage it

Tnewk, Your symptom is no vertical deflection = check for
B+ voltage present at vertical output IC.If present = replace IC.
If missing, check B+ power supply............T.
Note: 10 ohm resistor replacement symptom = No video,
lit white screen with retrace lines ...........T.

Hello RENE1223,
Normally this is not a costly repair. This is because it could be the vertical coupling capacitor. However if it is the yoke transformer it could get costly. There is no way for you to repair this problem if you do not have a background in electronics. So I would suggest taking the TV to a repair shop to get an estimate. If the estimate is within the range you are willing to spend let them fix it.
I hope this helps,
thank you,

where could I get someone to fix this problem ? Best buy Circuit city ??????
Where could I get this problem fixed ?????
I have a 27MT3305/17 27inch Magnavox TV. Had it for 2 years. for the last 4 weeks I have been watching a black horizontal line at the top of my TV screen grow wider and wider. I is now around 4 -5 inches wide vertically.
