Background Info:

6-7 year old TV/VCR combo, was sitting around watching it and i thought i heard something crack and fall..thought it was the tv stand...noticed nothing was wrong with the stand and went back to watching...

as i was watching tv the picture gradually got whiter/brighter...then there's just blackness with just a line going horizontal across the screen...

any ideas?..quick fix? call a tech? trash it?

feel free to write stewart_solomon@telocity.com if you need more information regarding this...i'd much rather fix it then replace it

thanks for any help you might be able to offer
-Stewart

Sounds like you no longer have vertical sweep. Whats the model number and date of manufacture on this television?

Tech Tip as follows:

1)Bright picture, enter menu vertical collapses./Exiting menu returns set to normal: Capacitor C9012 1uf@250volts near flyback. This funai chassis has vertical collapse if brightness or screen control goes to high.

Wow...i did find the cover to a capacitor laying around...and it was to C9012...i'm "VERY" new to this...wanted to know if this is something i could fix or should i trash it?..i'm thinking all i need is a new capacitor for C9012...but i don't want to assume incorrectly

If you have a soldering iron and some 60/40 solder you should not have a problem repairing it. Radio Shack does not carry any capacitors that high of a voltage so you will need to find a parts distributor (such as rca/ge, panasonic, etc.) that will sell just one. Check the yellow pages.
