Horizontal green lines? They say a picture is worth 10,000 words and you only gave us 8 words in your description of the problem.... which could be caused by a plethora of faults, some easy and inexpensive to fix and and others much more involved and expensive to fix. About the best answer that most people could come up based on details in your posting is that your TV is broken and needs to be looked at by a technician with the proper repair experience, electronics knowledge, and tools/test equipment. At the very least, TAKE your television to a service shop for a repair cost estimate so you can make an intelligent repair decision with facts instead of clueless internet guesses. electricitym .. .. .. |

Thanks for your input. If I had had any more words to describe the
problem I would have said so. Not to be smart or anything. I am just a woman who is not adept at electrical home repair tv or otherwise. I was just hoping it meant something simple as I dont have money for repairing a tv . I assumed it probably is going out on me, just praying I was wrong. Thanks for your advice and for posting . I didnt realize the site was DO It Yourself. ops: |

Maybe you can find a hobbyist in your area who'd be willing to come look at it for you? I find once word gets out I have all sorts of random people asking me to fix stuff, when time permits it's a good way to make a few extra bucks while still being cheaper than a shop and it beats having the equipment just get chucked in the landfill. |

Unfortunately this newsgroup is meant for someone who can do some basic troubleshooting, such as checking voltages, waveforms, and signals, then post those results here and ask for some help tracking down the cause of the problem. Also it is a must to post the brand name and model number, and if possible the chassis number. If this is not within your ability then you need to bring your TV to a technician for troubleshooting and repair. What you CAN do is connect another known-good TV to the same cable line and see if you get the same symptom. If you DO get the same symptom then the problem is likely caused by the cable, and if you DON'T get the same symptom then the problem is likely caused by the TV itself. |

May be interference, failure in the video processor of the set, or other
internal problems. At least posting the Manufacturer and Model Number of the set will allow us a litle insight. At this point we are guessing as much as you are.
