This set came in with no vertical at all. I checked the vcc at the la7838 and it was there so I went ahead and replaced it and also C558 in that ckt. Now I have a full screen but there are some lines at the top 6\8 inches with some vertical jitter.Looks like another bad cap but I checked all caps in the vert.ckt and all are ok.I have a note in my data base that say's to replace R553 which is a 2 ohm res. but I can't locate it .Maybe it does not pertain to this model.The symtom looks like the ones that the sanyo's and the panasonics had.Full deff.but lines at to top of screen,like retrace.I would apreciate any and all the help.No sm here on this set.Thanks Mando Birdie's TV & Electronics Casa Grande, AZ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
