Hello to all I first when I got this TV the vertical was shrunk about 4 inches. And it had white skinny lines in the top of the picture. I found C424 bad a 100uf-35V,after I replaced it the picture looked really good and filled in at the top. The lines are not visible in the picture,but when I change channel it shows the lines still in the black between changing. So I can not let it go this way of course. I checked C425.C427 and C 428,but they check good also the ESR on them is good. I would appreciate if someone would know which one I still mist,since I do not have a S/m yet. I really do not think that IC421 the vertical IC would do this it is a LA7840 chip. Unless someone would know different.
