The picture in this 25" TV,in some areas had a slight piecrusting (horizontal instability).Seemed to be concentrated in a moving band across the screen. After ESR'ing all caps, I found in the power supply,near the STR30130 (which was outputting an exact +130V) a cap C007 (4.7mfd/160V) that was infinate ESR. Replacement cured it. I theorise the bad cap was allowing "hash" to enter the power supply,riding on the +130VDC. This was probably "modulating" the horizontal ckts at a 60 Hz rate. Anyway it's fixed.
