Can anybody diagnose my TV problem?
Answer:
If it is a vertical line, your horizontal scan has failed and if it is a horizontal line the vertical scan has failed. It is likely to be the power transistor driving the scan coils. That's a nice easy repair. If the scan coils themselves have failed, it's not worth having fixed.
It sounds like your tube has given up the ghost.
Give it a decent burial.
It's not your tube, take it to a local repairer, cost about £50 for estimate and if you have it repaired the estimate is not charged, just the total cost of repair.
But with the advent of HD it might be worth cutting your losses and buying HD ready tv.
Good luck
Yea it's a common fault with most old tv's it's a frame colapse.
you need someone to take out the main circuit board and check the metal strip arround the edge if their is an airline crack or several cracks all you need to do is get some bits of wire strong wire and bridge all the cracks by soldering them. just imagine you have a pencil and it snaps you would fix this by selotape. Same principle really you should also look for any bloated capasitors these are recognised by a bevil on the top (rounded instead of flat) you should replace these with an equivilant. hope this helps.
You need to take it to a tech, it has a vertical problem, the white line is your whole pix strunch, the tech replace's the vertical ic and it should be good to go
Definitely not your tube ! A wild guess !! Robert C is not a TV Tech ! All the other answers are correct ! .
