Michael this is a common problem in most of the newer sets. You have a cold
or cracked solder joint around the vertical output ic. I don't have the
manual on hand at the moment but it probably uses an LA7838 IC for the
vertical. You need to examine the pins on the ic (ic451?) on the main board
for cracks and resolder .

I have a 35" Panasonic TV model CT-27G22V. After about ten to fifteen
minutes of viewing the TV loses its video but retains its audio.
Occasionally, and at random times, the video returns. What's left on
the black screen is a thin, bright line right in the middle of the
screen. Does anyone have an idea as to what diagnosis I ought to
expect when I obtain service? Thanks!

Michael
