My Mistsubishi Vs-60607 had horizontal lines dancing on the screen for what started as the first 5 min after turning on and then went to about the first 30 min. after turning on. Now the horizontal dancing won't stop no matter how long it is on. TV was manufacured in 2000. 6 years doesn't seem like a long TV life but maybe I am old fashioned. Is it time to find a new TV? What is this going to cost me or is there something I can do myself. Please help
Are they primary colors? When I hear "lines dancing across the screen" convergence failure comes to mind. If they are solid white or black, then the signal board is a good place to start looking for bad caps.
I had this fixed but I'm not sure what he did to fix it. I seem to remember him saying it had something to do with a "9 volt" if that makes sense to anyone.
Would that be a 9 volt regulator? If so, you're looking for a T-220 case IC. It will be labeled UPC7809 or LM7809 or L78M09. Look for a three lead device attached to a heat sink with "7809" in it's part number.
