The TV was working fine and all of a sudden the top half of the screen went black. There is a thin horizontal white line right in the middle and the top part is black, there is no picture, while the bottom part still works. There is sound. My TV is a Sony flat screen, 24 inch and about 4 years old. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix it?

You have a vert sweep problem and unless you know how to trouble shoot this cuircit bring it to a pro. I found out mostly in these sets that the vert output IC is bad.. Also sometimes the b+ filter cap off the fly is leaky and made the IC to fail. Another thing is Im surprised to hear you got a pic with the vert failure and a bright line in the pic!! This could be a big problem when the sets fixed so dont run it too long like this. It could burn a line all the way across the screen and you will see a dark faint line in your pic because of this. BE CAREFULL!!

The exact same problem happened to me last night as Lymile. No warning. Black top half of screen. Separated by bright white line. Normal picture bottom half of screen. Sound is fine. Picture is not compressed. Heads of people on screen have been chopped off. Same picture with DVD. I get a complete picture with my "picture in picture" as long as the "PIP" is located in the bottom half of screen. My TV is 20 days short of 4 yrs. old... Tom
