Lines on the screen
Hello
If the lines are thin and spreaded allover the screen from top to bottom, and are equally spaced around one inch of so apart, it will be a screen voltage rise problem. You just decrese both brightness, contrast and colour contols of your TV to zero position, and look into, where there is lines are visible on the screen or not. You should notice this in a drak room, so as to see is well, or close all the doors and windows to make the circumstance to a little bit dark.
If you can see these lines still, it is clear evidence of the above said fault. To rectify this fault you should open your TV. Open the back cover of the TV, and you will see a Line Output Transformer. It is otherwse known as LOT. It can be recoganiized easely as it its size. Normally it will look black in colour and a thick wire from it goes the picture tube's final anode, and look like it is stcked to it with the help of a rubber ******. Other two wires from it goes to the picture tube base board. These two wires are, one for focus and the other for screen.
There will be two controls on the lot, which can be varied, and seem to be integrated with LOT. Among, upper one is for focus adjustment, and lower one is for screen adjustment. Both will be marked as "Screen" and "Focus". You just find out the screen control. With the healp of a screw driver it can be adjusted.
Keep the TV on, Brightness, Contrast and colour to minimum, adjust this control to a little [ a very little movement should be done, otherwise the picture will be get blurred], to just eliminate the lines you see on the screen. Focus control and screen controls are interactable, that is adjusting one may effect the other. After eliminating these lines just up the brightness and contrast control to at about their mid position and press the menu button on the TV or remote control to get the menu screen. Look at the letterings, and if it seem to be out of focus only, just adjust the focus contorl to get well focused captions. The adjustments are hot, that is while the TV is operating. Take care. Ok.
