I got a free Toshiba 57HX81 off Craigslist. The tv turns on and the sound is perfect, but the image is all scribbly and wavey. After about 30 minutes the picture gets a little more clear, but is still terrible. Plus there is a white line going down the side(s) of the screen.
I don't know about that. Someone probably was rough with it and messed them up. You should have a technician look at it.
The connectors in the back are shorted. It cold be as simple as soldering them back in.
The connectors the TV plugs into. It would be your coax and AV connectors. See it they are shorted. If your good with a solder iron you might be able to reattach them.
Good luck on that.
Yikes! You should get a technician to look at it. It could be a number of things wrong with it.
Someone needs to look at to fix the problem the right way.

All connections look bad, composite, coaxil, they all have the same problem. Do I need to replace the hyper board? :(
messed what up exactly? The guy I got it from said he transported it in a uhaul and when they unloaded it and plugged it in it started doing that.
Which connectors? Please be as specific as possible. I can solder well, but I need to know EXACTLY what it is you think I need to resolder. What connectors?
The thing is, is that even when NOTHING is plugged in, I can see even the default tv snow is distorted with this problem. Does that still mean it can be the connectors?
That looks like a video game you are playing. How is the video game connected to the back of the TV?
