Single green line spanning across the screen horizontally

T con board is responsible for digitizing picture info and what you see on screen. Any crazy items, distortion, are derived from there.
See if you can one on ebay - often the boards are parted out from other sets.

Vertical scan output section circuit fault. Absence of vertical scan causes the single horizontal line on screen. Horizontal scan output section is OK. Contact any service technician to troubleshoot the vertical scan output section circuit. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here.

Horizontal line fault to CRT based TVs are given.

We have a Samsung LE32A457, whilst we were watching T.V tonight the top halve of the screen suddenly appeared with green lines halfway down the screen and that half of the picture was unwatchable, T.V is 2 years old. We have removed all scart leads but this did not help and the problem still exists, when shutting down a white horizontal line across the centre of the screen appears from this line upwards the picture is faulty. Any help or advice would be grateful.

The line is there because the vertical deflection unit - the one that spreads that line across the entire screen to form the image - has failed. Replacing it is a job for a professional, or at least an experienced amateur, and the parts will be quite difficult to find for such an old tv . 

The single line means that the vertical deflection doesn't work. And since it is working when you kick the tv or has warmed it's clearly a bad connection - open the case and reseat the wires going to the tube coil.

Most Probably the Vertical Output IC has failed. If it has, it also could cause resistors that supplt the +/- Voltages to the IC to fail as well.
Hope this helps,

The single horizontal line is a problem with the vertical circuit. Look for a small flat id attached to a heatsink that should be marked LA7837 or something similar. Try resoldering the pins of this IC first. If that does not resolve it, replace the IC.

Keep us posted.

Your vertical deflection IC is bad.

if you have warrenty, return it. if not, then buya new one...the video fuses are dying...hard to fix it.
