Before starting any repair work, you should determine the problem and proceed further. In this section you will get to know how to repair television with no vertical deflection.
1. Determine the problem before proceeding
When you notice horizontal line on the screen, understand that this is a problem of vertical deflection. This problem happens due to the deficiency of vertical deflection that supports creating horizontal line on the television screen.
2. Identify the reason behind the problem
Lack of vertical deflection usually takes place when heat generates within vertical IC and due to which the metal keeps on contracting and expanding. Now the pin available on the chip gets distorted from the solder joint, supporting open circuit connection. This chip consumes high power which in turn gets very hot. The chip is capable of working at high temperature but the wreck on metal board caused due to contraction and expansion develops pressure on the circuit board connections.
3. Fix the problem
Open the bottom of the board with the help of a screw driver. You will notice an area of the board is circled with red marks. Those joints need to be resoldered. Now with the help of a pencil tip reheat the solder joints by soldering iron. For best function you can also include some extra solder to the joints.
4. Reassemble your television board
Once you have completed resoldering, your work is almost done. Now just assemble the board back to your television set and plug it back to the switch board. When the problem of vertical deflection arises all you need to do is resolder the joints. Do not replace any part of your television set.
