Normally don't even have bad caps, just the IC. Be sure to resolder any
bad connections around the area, mostly on the resistors that mount
vertically.

Hi,

I have a Samsung TV TXE2545 mfg 4/97 in my shop with
half a picture (bottom half) which is linear (normal). At the
center (top
of
half of picture) is a bright horizontal line. Above, the screen is
black.
I scoped the input signal (pin 1) to IC301 TDA8350Q and it looks
normal.
Pins 4 and 8 have a little above normal voltage. Could the cause
of this problem be IC301?

Thanks in advance, Brad
