Zenith SM2568S Vertical Collapse
My TV started intermittently vertically collapsing on me. I would hit
the side of the set, and the picture would come back up. Now it is collapsed all the time. After doing a little bit of research on the internet, I am thinking I probably have a Cold Solder somewhere, most likely on the vertical IC. I have a small amount of TV knowledge, and decent electronics knowledge, but I feel a little blind without a schematic or service manual. The vertical IC is at the back of the board on the right hand side (when looking from the back with the cover off) correct? And it has a heatsink on it? Am I correct to think it is the vertical IC? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Dan |

Look at every trace going to the IC and touch up all the nearby components before replacing the IC. Ken |

Yes, it's a bad connection. Solder the leads on the IC, but also look for any
parts close to the IC that have white glue gooped around them. The parts glued to the board have a tendancy to get bad connections also. |
