My JVC TV recently began getting a batch of thin white/clear horizontal lines at the top 1/5 of the screen. The bottom-most line is more solid white and its length varies by constantly moving (a busy side-to-side blinking...). Months ago, I noticed a slight rainbow-colored patch in the top left corner of the screen. Eventually, it went away. When this batch of lines appeared, it would only be when I first turned the TV on. After a few minutes the line would disappear. I made sure I moved everything that could produce electrical static interference away from the TV. No improvement... It's always been plugged into a surge protector. I paid $219 for it apprx.8 years ago. Not looking to pay almost triple for a new LCD/HD/Flatscreen TV. However equally not sure if I can learn how to open it up and do surgery. Don't most repair shops charge 200 deposit anyway? What does it normally cost to fix my problem?
Leaky cap(s) in vertical circuit. shouldn't be more than $125 (plus taxes) parts and labour
