A bottle of good RMA flux and a hot iron can bring them back from the
dead.

Which 'them' do you mean? The Sony or the TV?


Both. Cracked solder joints are a huge problem in consumer grade
electronics, and lead free solder is making it even more of a problem.


Bad memory on my part, though. The one 27" TV I have left is a handed
down Sanyo and the problem is no vertical. Classic dead center
horizontal line.


Check for open electrolytics in the vertical circuit. You can ask on
news:sci.electronics.repair for more information, if you give the brand
and model.
