After switching on, for 5-15 minutes picture is either 1. ok 2. vertically misplaced horizontal lines 3. limited to vertical middle section, sometimes to a single line. Intermittent changes between 1,2,3. Seems to respond to gentle tapping. I looked up on the web and some people say vertical IC typically needs resoldering/replacement. Could someone tell me how to locate it, what is written on it/next to it? Any other ideas? Any help is appreciated. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
