If it is not working then to repair???

I have heard that magnetic field makes irregular fields on crt screen.
In my case there is one 10 cm wide line from top to bottom. Regular.

Is there a magnetic field around AC converter if it is turned off or
unplugged???

Oh God I hate when things like this goes wrong. In my country there are
damn slow repair services ( OK. I'm going to the war!!!


Transformers can be magnetised when off, so unplugging that wont do.
However I dont see how a magnetic field could give you a green vertical
line on screen. Admittedly I've little idea of what could.


I rather doubt it's a magnetic field problem. A distinct sharp edged
artifact like a vertical line is normally associated with an electronic
problem, possibly a bad cap. Or, possibly something simpler like a black
level adjustment. You may be seeing the sync signal feeding through to
the video somehow.
