My television has no picture just one thin line in the center. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what is wrong?

THIN COLORD LINES ON RIGHT SIDE OF SCREEN PICTURE IS FINE AN SOUND THANKS

If the the thin lines you describes here, are across the screen, and it is present all around the screen, and the spacing between them is at about 1 inch apart [whit thin lines along with picture], the fault is due to some electrolytic capacitor/s at its video output supply voltage. If the screen voltage has became more than normal, this type of fault can occur too. Anyway, your TV needs a through checkup. http://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/. Check this link. One among the posts there have details about these kind of fault. Technically, this fault is called 'vertical retrace lines', Check the link.

Products powered by electricity should be serviced or repaired only by experienced professional technicians. Any attempt to service or repair the product by anyone else could result in serious injury or death. If you are not familiar with electronics, do not attempt to repair. Whether you suffer fatal electrical shock. Instead, contact the nearest service center.

The only easy hope here is centering is off just slightly to the left and the line etc will show on certain scenes and or channels.

Not sure if this set has a centering in customer menu or maybe in the tech menu---a call to sharp might answer this for you.

You have a thin horizontal line in the center of the TV. You, in this case have vertical IC that has bad grounds. Resolder the vertical IC pins and check the capacitors in the immediate area and replace these caps as necessary. If you still have a horizontal line, you will have to replace the vertical IC. Find a TV tech or someone with electronic experience to do this for you. Should be reasonable to fix. Thanks for asking and Good Luck!

Your format is wrong. Make sure that your tv is in full mode and your direct tv is in 1080i stretch mode. This should correct the problem. Also, WB is having problems. This is common on their channel. If it is happening on any other channel, try the above. Hope this helps. JOHN

call the repair guy, he will be able to diagnose, prbably a bord problem.

sounds like the flyback / power supply

intermintence in vertical IC deflection its a job for experienced tech need to look for that circuit and do fine job resolding that IC

Hi there,it looks as if you have a frame collaps,this is the first time i have ever heard of this on an LCD tv,i take it that there is no picture at all only a thin line.

a bright thin line in centre is called horizontal line. first of all do not keep tv on unless it is rectified. BUT If you want to put on tv keep brightness minimum to protect your screen for any demage. now solution your problem is in vertical section. 1 check vertical supply. 2 check parts in vertical section or loose contact. 3 yoke connrctor loose 4 ic defective It is not serious problem can be rectified easily
