| I have the exact same problem myself. I have a 1" black bar at the top of the screen, followed by about 3" of white horizontal lines. I also have the red, blue, and green lines at start up. I just bought this TV like, 7 months ago, too. Needless to say, I'm a little cranky at Philips right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. P. S. Just in case it helps, my TV is a Philips model# 27PT6441/37 27" Stereo Flatsreen TV. |

| You have defective filter capacitor/s in the vertical circuit. Or defective solder connections on the pins of the vertical ic. pw |
|
| Thanks for the help, friend... Now...how I should go about fixing this, or should I just give in and take it to a repair shop? I'm leaning towards the repair shop, but I might just give up completely and get a new television. Thanks in advance. |
|
| i agree. pee wee, could you let us know how to go about actually fixing this. tools, parts and directions. i would like to fix this at home without spending the money for a repair guy. |

| I recently had my phillips 27" model 27PT6341/07 repaired after warranty expired due to white lines appearing at the top of the screen. The shop advised that it was a capacitor giving me the problem. So, after getting it back, I examined the repair job and the shop had replaced a capacitor at the back of the main board, next to the rear rca inputs. It is labeled 10uf 100v. I was told that it would fail again soon because it is a manufactures defect. For me it is at location 2465. Here are a couple of photos of the part. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3215/2337629026_eaa30cfa18.jpg?v=0 http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2411/2337627420_b45bbf1a74.jpg?v=0 Hope this helps, |

| I have a phillips 32pt5441/37. it's a 32" tv. I'm also having the same problems with the horizontal lines across the top. I wonder if the same part is defective. I called radio shack and they only have the 50v part not the 100v. if it's the same part, could it only be bought at a dealer or only repair guys have the part? Thanks in advance! George |

| Thanks to siestamagic I replaced the cap and the problem is resolved. malietoa, do not put in any component with a lower voltage rating. I bought my 10uf 100v at an electronics supply for 35 cents. |
|
| Thanks to siestamagic, I was able to repair this exact same problem as well. No more lines on the screen and everyone is happy. My TV model is: 27PT9015D/37 I could not find any 10uF 100v capacitors in my area so I used two 22uF 50v capacitors in series instead. All is well and it was straightforward to do. I put some of the pictures to help others here: |

| I have the same problem. I replace capacitor with 10 uf 250v, and picture is better but tv shuts down after 1-2 minutes and the green power light flashes 36-5-1 code. Should I replace again with a 100 volt? |

| Had same problem. Got a 10uf 100v capacitor at www.allspectrum.com for $3.71 including shipping. Repair took about 20" with most of the time spent removing the back of the TV. Some good pictures at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/maotx/2737356766/in/set-72157606567691399 / http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2411/2337627420_b45bbf1a74.jpg?v=0 |

| It is a dry up filter capacitor capacitor of 25-50v around 100uf located near the vertical ic.Usually connected with -ve or ground supply of the vertical ic. |

| your vertical ic is been blown up.Replace the vertical ic and before doing this replace the capacitors connected to vertical ic, if not the ic will blow again. |
