hi...
It sounds like an Intergrated Circuit (IC) has fried.
Your best bet in this situation is to contact ur tv service operator and let them recommend an authorized service center in your area....

rate me!!

Please let me know if you find a fix. and what the problem was. Eddie.

check for dry joints around the main chassis,esp the supply lines .

I need model number, vertical sweep electric capacitor

PiP or bad connection. disconnect the set with all cables and reconnect and see what happens

It will burn into the screen overtime. The Akai units have a resistor on the address board that feeds the PDP that usually has a crack in the solder on one or both ends of it. There are about 4 address boards that are right below the panel itself and the suspect one is the board right below the line that is appearing. Have someone with solder skills repair it.
