I have a Toshiba 36A50 TV with a vertical stripe. The strip is not opaque, and you can see the image behind it, but the image is noticeably darker. If you turn the TV on and off sometimes the stripe moves and sometimes it even disappears. Any thoughts?

    HI,
    I had a local TV repair guy come this morning who banged on the case a bunch of times and there was no change in the line. Do you still think it could be a dry solder issue?

  • kaspector Aug 19, 2011

    Just emailed you some sample pictures

  • kaspector Aug 22, 2011

    I would like a second opinion on whether the solution as presented is the best option before I spend the money to try and replace the IC. I can resend the picture of the problem if necessary. Thanks

  • kaspector Aug 22, 2011

    Have you seen the "stripe" that I am talking about? I can email you some pictures if that will help.

  • kaspector Aug 22, 2011

    Did you get my pictures I sent?

  • kaspector Aug 22, 2011

    Yes, I did try a DVD and yes the line is still there. Is resoldering the entire board a realistic option?

  • kaspector Aug 22, 2011

    Banging on the TV all over while it is on does nothing.

You have what is call horitzontal collaspe, if it goes from bottom top , and you are looking at around 170- 220 on repairs, and if it was me I would just buy a new LCD, they have went lower in cost.

the screen trimmer found below of the ply-back..

if the line disappear and of course it will comes dark..your problem is on the capacitor that control the screen brightness..

The value of that capacitor is 10uf/250v to 450v..

Thanks for using fixya...

    OK it will help..this is my email add [email protected]..

    please send the pix

  • Anonymous Aug 22, 2011

    Thanks I already receive your email..



    You need to check first if the problem is on the TV or on the signal..



    please try play DVD or any recorded TV shows to determine if the problem is on the TV itself or on the signal..



    if the problem still there even in DVD...



    The problem is on the TV..



    I already encounter that problem..that is commonly cause of cold solder..



    please try to hit on the top of TV while it power ON...



    and see if any changes of the picture or reaction..if that so try to resolder the whole board specially on the hot section or what we call HV high voltage section..



    Thanks

Hi,
Hi check is there is any dry soldering in the vertical scanning stage or in the power supply stage. of your tv. If the soldering of the vertical ic is dry( improper spldering contact coused by years of use) then this can happen.Thats why it disappears some time when there is a proper contact comes. You can confirm is it dry soldering by shaking the tv while its working. If the line comes and go off then there is dry soldering in the vertical scanning section. To rectify this you have to oppen your tv And have to resolder the points in the vertical section. Have added the picture, how a dry soldering point looks.

    hi,
    Got the picture. i think there is problem with the croma IC. Because it is an ic which is a combination of horizontal, vertical , video, and sync section . Fist of all you have to check by replacing this ic. its number is M65617SP-B. You can see this number on one of the ic which has 52 legs on the main board.
    OK

Toshiba, 36A50 picture is a thin white line. Can this be repaired?

Yes...this TV may be repaired. The line you describe is in the center and is horizontal across the TV. You will need to resolder the vertical IC pins. This vertical IC is mounted on a large heatsink. Under the board you will see there are 5 or 7 pins that will have rings around them. Resolder these. And you should replace two or three capacitors that are next to this IC. A bad cap will overheat an IC and separate the solder grounds. If you can find my expertise page on this website, you will see the repair in more detail. Thanks for asking and show a few hands of support.

Thin vertical line appears on projector

I have found that vertical lines that suddenly appear from projectors are due to poorly connected cables. Sut off your projector and wait for the fan to go off. Then unplug the connectors from the computer to the projector and secure them again, making sure to go all the way. Hope this helps.
