I've got a 96 Zenith Inteq big screen projection tv and no one around here will touch it so what I'm going to have to do is do it myself. I found a place to get the service manual now i just need to know what is wrong with it. The picture has compressed from the top left to top right and then the bottom left to the bottom right....looks like this )( only horizontal and every once in a while a picture will come up in there but usually it's black...the )( stripes on there are green, blue, yellow and red....help please i have no idea what i'm doing but willing to figure it out cause i'm out of options.
You have a vertical deflection problem. Most of the time this is probably caused by a bad capacitor or maybe a bad connection in the yoke. It maybe cheaper in your time to just replace all the electrolytic caps in the vertical deflection circuitry rather trying to locate the bad one. Money wise it would still only be a few bucks to replace them all.
Be very careful as you are dealing with potentially deadly voltages, so if you aren't sure discharge them, maybe you should let somebody else do the work.
