My Toshiba 57h82 57in. started with little squiggly line at top and over time creep down the whole picture. Noticed the picture started jumping in flashes (ghost like) .Funny thing is Closed Caption comes in clear (?)

Do you mean to say the line does not pass through the closed caption? If yes then did you try a different input source such as a DVD(I'm assuming that his problem is on tv mode). Also can you please bring up the menu and tell me if it is affected as well?

Sai.

Hi,
Closed caption comes in clear because that's part of the menu software which is 'down-stream video' and its a separate display function from input video processor codecs. Ok here's the deal with your TV problem, the squiggly lines you see are a result of faulty 'Hyper Module' that has around 15 surface-mount electrolytic capacitors that have warped internally (high ESR levels). This is a known problem with this model of TV, the repair its self is easy its just removing the Hyper Module that's tedious. To fix this problem requires removing the hyper-module from the main logic board and replacing around 15 capacitors of equal value and that's it....problem solved.
