Thin red line,going across the TV Screen?

  • Is this repairable or is the TV done for? I was watching TV and suddenly the screen went black with the a thin line across the center. I pushed the mute button to see what would ...show more

  • Answer:

    The company stopped making parts for that TV over 14 years ago. It is not fixable and you will spend more trying to fix it than if you just go buy a modern TV.

The problem with your TV is in the vertical circuit and probably the small IC chip that controls vertical output and the IC is probably a LA7841. Yes, it is repairable.

At that age I wouldn't spend a penny on it. Sling it and get something modern.

Are you serious? Your 16 year old CRT had nil value and i do mean nil. I recently sold one of the last Sony flat screen crt tv's, stereo, built in freeview, brilliant picture and great, for a tv, sound for £20 when we bought a flat panel one to hang on the wall. Our local re-cycling centre has a steel container full of crt TV's, all apparently working, because the owners no longer wanted them and no one would buy them. Until recently you could have given one of the workers a couple of quid and took your choice but now it's council run and they won't even let you take a cardboard box. Google Freecycle and find your local Freecycle organisation and you will get a replacement for nothing.
