When we turn on our tv you can't see a picture-or atleast it is so bad you can tell what it is. Wavy, squiggly vertical lines-then about 5 min later the picture is great. I wanted to find out if it is a easy fix or do we just use it till the tv dies and it's not worth fixing. I have the same problem for the last three months. It takes around 5 minutes or so for the pictuer to clear up. The same with DVD input. I use the color stream inputs. HD channels work fine. Set is 6 years old.
This is a very common occurance in these sets. toshiba has issued a servece bullteen with this set. Sorry to tell you this but this is a problem with some very small capacitors on what is known as the hypermodule. in my shop we fix 2 to 5 of these a month. you really have to know how to solder. Idealy replace the hypermodule is the best way. but......that board is hard to find. so we replace these 11 very very small componets with twezzers and a big magnifier. we charge about 250 to 350 for this repair.
SOURCE: bad picture until tv warms up
Its bad surtace mount caps in the hyper board.I dont know which ones .Any ideas out there ?

This was mistakenly entered under the 57" problem where I bought the premium service. The problem does not occur if TV is in the 1080i mode.
