Picture on TV showed as small lines at the top of the screen. Sound was fine but picture was bad. This happened while playing a video game. Unplugged TV from the outlet for about a half hour. Plugged it back in and it looked ok. After about 7 hours and while watchng a DVD movie the lines came back again. Is something overheating or is the Video Input causing the problem?

I'm not sure if this model is the one that has resistors that go bad. You can actually purchase a pack of resistors in a kit. It will come with solder, the resistors and instructions. You can lay the tv out and take the circuit board out to find the blown components, and replace the bad ones. Takes about an hour start to finish and will cost around $65.00. It has been a few years since I did this, so I'm not sure on the price.

maybe you unit is in progressive mode try to reset it by holding stop and play/x1.3 button at the same time for about 5 seconds.

Maybe the Demo Game isn't compatible with your TV, or your PS3. Try going to a friends house (who has a PS3 obviously), and try downloading that game on his. If it works, it could be just your PS3. If not, its probably the Game itself.

This is a common problem usually seen when playing copy protected tapes. The part of the picture affected is normally off the top of the screen. Sometimes the problem is also due to the VCR itself and differences in tapes. It's also possible for the TV itself to be causing this, although you would probably also notice this flag-waving (that's what it's called) on regular TV viewing if that were true.

Sometimes increasing the height of the picture can push the affected area off the top again. But this can also cause you to lose part of the picture you want. Also, the height adjustment may be difficult to find as it's not something normally used. On some TV's it's a small pot somewhere on the board, but most newer sets have electronic adjustments through a service menu that you need to know how to access.

I'd suggest trying another VCR first and play one of the tapes you know shows the trouble. That might be all it takes. Then consider trying to increase the picture height if it's just a small bit at the top of the screen.

My Direct TV has no sound or picture but does show channel info at the top. Any help is appreciated.

As you told big picture freeze is working ,then there could the problem in the main processors which not to able pick video input signal ...If you would like to attempt a DIY, you will need a service manual to guide you. You can find one here:http://servicemanuals.vstore.ca/ which also contains the part number incase you need a new part...

Good luck.....

switch on no picture but short period of sound then nothing

hall-your satellite signal or box is bad.TEST BY USING YOUR DVD PLAYER.JOE TV

• adjust brightness setting when playing tv.
• adjust screen control located on flyback transformer.
• hope this will help.

sound like you have 1 or a couple of leaky/bad capacitors in the tv's vertical circuit, typically, there sould be 5 to 10 caps. in all, but you just need 1 bad one to cause your problem. good luck.
