The other day, my TV mysteriously broke on me. I was watching the TV for a couple of minutes, when all of a sudden, it shorts out (this has happened before with no negative long-term effects, or so I thought). I try turning the TV on, and the TV turns on, but only displays the little column in the center of the screen, the rest of the screen is black (you know how when you turn off a TV, there's that little white bar in the center of the screen that's the last to go away). I tried changing the TV to the DVD player, to the VCR, unplugged the cable, to no avail. Anybody have any solutions or things to try before I contemplate buying a new TV?
(If there's a case similar to this on these forums, please link me to it)
You have a vertical fault .need modle#.
Don't know that modlel and there's no info on it, this is a Wallmart stuff, but anyway it could be vertical IC.and bad caps also resistors, if know how that should be a easy fix. good luck.
Many Apex models weren't really servicable because APEX never provided service literature. That may be one of those models.
