No picture When you turn on the tv, all you get is a thin horizontal line across the middle. There is audio. If I move the tv a certain why or press on certain spots, I get the picture back. But, as soon as you turn it off and then back on again the picture is gone again.

Always suspect a bad EEprom...very common on this TV! See a tech, he will have to select one of six eeproms to fix this!

it could be that the tv convergence circuit is going bad. One shure way of finding out is to go to the tv feature menu(picture,audio etc.) and select the customer convergence setting, you should get a cross hair pattern(cross in middle of screen). that cross should be white and by aligning the red or blue colors they should move left, right, up or down

It could be a defective Y-Buffer board, or a defective Plasma panel.

you need to replace the electrolytic capacitor in the horizontal section of of your tv sets,cause the capacitor is weak.need to repair

I'd suggest to bring it to repair shop if you're not technically literate

bad vertical chip ic

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

this symptom, sometimes called the tube light effect, it is characterised by a bright thin horizontal line across the middle of the screen. this symptom is caused by a breakdown in the vertical deflection circuit. hence maybe the trouble maybe in the vertical oscillator, amplifier or output circuits. but if all i have said is not clear to you, better bring it to a qualified tv technician. good luck!

If you know how to trouble shoot solid state electronics, you should not have a problem trouble shooting this set. it sounds like a bad solder connection But these sets are not made for a consumer to repair as they are all soldered into placxe and inside a TV set is not tyhe place for a peep to br if he doesent uinderstand thongs

I really dont understand the problem Could we see a picture of this please?
