Thanks. The TV, lines at the top, was fixed at a local, small, Panasonic authorized repair shop. Several electrolytic capacitors ( 4 or 5 ) were replaced. Removed one by one, tested, found sub-par, and replaced. Not sure exactly which ones, but they were all near the Vertical circuitry section I imagine. After replacement of the capacitors, a few lines remained, and the tech determined the small vertical IC was also damaged. That is IC 401 "V.Output.IC" shown on pg 25 of the service manual. This IC was replaced - and that fixed all the lines. A couple of weeks have past now since the repair, and still working O.K. - our nice TV is working well again. Thanks. Hope this feedback / info helps.

This seems to be a fault in the vertical blanking circuit. It's very common to have open or out of value electrolytic caps that make this problem.
I could guide you in finding this cap if I had the schematic for this TV, but I don't.

Have similar problem on a Panasonic Tau model CT-27SL15.
It's a 27" CRT TV manufactured around 2005.

Found a service manual online w/schematics and board layouts.

Panasonic Service Manualhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/35219914/PANASON...
See pg 25 (of 42) - Deflection Schematic Diagram (Main PCB)
Shows: V Output IC - IC401
Finding the actual bad component(s) may not be so easy.
(TV repair person made a similar comment on the telephone.
Possibly capacitor going bad in the Vertical circuitry.)
Anyway ... just wanted to add this comment.

As seen in the Diagram of the service manual, the bad capacitor might be C407 100 uF 35 V. Try replacin it.

I confirm that C407 capacitor was to blame on my TV set Panasonic Tau model CT-27SL15. I changed it to 470uF 35 V one and the white stripes at the top of the screen dissapeared.

Yes, this is rare but I have seen it before--not fixable if it is what I think it is----It is what is called a Dome effect---the shadow mask in the picture tube is actually contracting and or expanding depending on temperature---

Directly behind the phosphor coating (the stripes that you see on the screen) is a metal screen--the holes or perforations in it line up with the stripes on the phosphor screen.

Some masks either have a material or a defect causing the dome effect----Not likely to be anything else---a Pin amp problem will not usually act the way you describe but a shadow mask inside the picture tube will act exactly that way.

Horizontal line on screen sometimes

Generally horizontal lines are caused by the panel failing, you can try a new tcon but I don't think it will help.

I have about an inch to inch and half of light colored and looks to be horizontal line at the top of the screen on every channel. Haven't tried anything to fix at this point.

Hi there ! If you know technically try this :
1. try to adjust manually the trimmer at the vertical and horizontal section of your tv (located inside)
2, check for possible cold solder and try to fix it by using soldering Iron and soldering pump.
3.there maybe a change value of resistor inside the horizontal Section.
4. An open and leaky capacitor might also be the cause of Horizontal line at the top of your tv screen . thank you.

Try the scan PCBs that run down the side and the connectors that hook them up to the rest of the system. That would be my first place to start.

Unfortunately I don't have service manuals for non-european models. What is the date of manufacture?
