Check if when cold it's fine and clips picture when warms up...
It would be a common problem on Philips TVs using TDA3654Q for vertical
deflection, it's defective and needs replacement.

Thanks all of you for the replies.

The fault is simply that the bottom 5% of the picture is no longer
visible. For example, the tickers running across the screen of news
channels is only partially visible.

Any easy fix for this?

Thanks

I am trying to access the service menu for my US NTSC Philips TV
(19PS50) because the vertical alignment is screwed up (after moving
house). I have tried the "062596 menu" method, but it doesn't get
me anywhere. Am I doing something wrong, or is there another code?

Any ideas gratefully received. I am not a particularly teccy
person, and have no intention of removing the back cover.

TIA
