Hi,

Thanks to everyone for your responses. The only part I had
to replace was the TDA8350Q. I tested the caps, some of you
suggested may also need replacing, but they were fine.
The other thing I did was solder several joints that had fine
cracks due to thermal cycling.

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
