Hello all,
Looks like a great site, so I thought I would ask for some advice.
My Toshiba 65HX81 is showing some vertical lines running through the picture that are flickering back and forth. Each line is 2 small squares (or pixles?) wide. They blink back and forth, and there are maybe 14-16 lines evenly spaced across the screen. I can still see the picture well, but these lines are very annoying.
It happened right after I had done some work (bathroom remodeling) on the electrical circuit where the tv is plugged in. There was a surge protector between the tv and the outlet, but something happened while turning the breaker on and off.
I talked to a tv repairman here and he believes it is a componet in what he called the "light box" and said I could remove that and bring it to his shop to save some money.
Anyone have any advice on what the problem might be or how I would go about identifying and removing the "light box"
Thanks,
Tom
Well, after taking the panels off and looking around a little while, I plugged it back in and turned it on, and the lines have disappeared. I'm wondering if it just needed to degauss or reset somehow, but it looks like having it unplugged for a little while did the trick.
