I just had a TV given to me that is going bad which I would like to repair for a gaming console system for my child.
When cold and first powered on there are horizontal lines across the top and bottom of the screen for about an hour till it warms up good then the screen is normal and looks good.
I suspect leaky or dry capacitors but have not opened it up yet to inspect it. I used to do component level board repair on computers and monitors so am comfortable and confident in repairing it safely myself if the parts are available that I will need. I do not currently have an ESR meter but will get one.
Does anyone have any tech manuals and/or schematics on this set? I checked the manuals ford'l here but this set is not in the list. With those I would have the guidance I need to test it out and see if it is worth the effort or not depending on what is going out on it. I will only get worse and if it is taking an hour to straighten out now, I suspect it is on its last leg if not repaired. I don't want to invest much in it though either.

Thanks in advance for any help, guidance, and/or manuals you can turn me on to.
