Hi. This is a rear projection tv. I am getting a horizontal bow tie for the picture. Everything else works fine. Any ideas for what is causing it? Should I attempt repair myself or take it to a shop?

Maybe the verticle section? Start by testing the verticle output transistors/IC and work your way back. Smile

That thing is too new for output transistors in the vertical section, it has a vertical output IC. And the problem is most likely in the convergence output circuit, probably the output IC's.

I've no idea what that means. I've never done any tv repairs before. Should I attempt to repair it myself. If so, how? Should I take it to the store for repair and how much do you think it would cost? Should I just chuck it out the back of a fast moving truck into a slow pedestrian?
