    Hello

    thanks

    could be a bad one of these, scope the vertical circuit

      Well with flat CRT screens a lot of magic is needed to make sure that things are lined up. A lot of the times a microcontroller has a setting to control parallelogram alignment and a slight misadjustment may look like that...

      But yes a bad one of those things ^^ could cause it too...

        wow a bad cap may cause that?
        i am almost sure that this is a new thing to the tv, i did not notice it before
        i want to add also that that tv has a lot of enlarged areas when it is bright

        meaning if there is a wide bright strip in the screen like a white wide cnn news bar, that area is kind expand wide and cause deformation, is that fixable or it depend on the tv model?!!

          There are a lot of strange controls needed to control a flat screen short neck CRT versus a traditional long neck curved screen.

          /_/ and \_\ parallelogram control
          /_\ and \_/ trapezoid control
          (_) and )_( barrel and pincushion control

          You'll have to supply a photo to describe.

            Why not post the model number so we know what we are dealing with. An actual picture of screen with the fault might help also.
            meaning if there is a wide bright strip in the screen like a white wide cnn news bar, that area is kind expand wide and cause deformation, is that fixable or it depend on the tv model?!!
            Check when there is a large white area is there bleading of a color(R,G,B,) to the right of the white area? If there is it could be the crt is weak.
            Does lowering the contrast or brightness help ?
            You may also have a power supply problem, When there are large white areas on the screen, that demands more current from the power supply, If this happens the voltage can drop or the pwm circuit gets noisy causing lines etc. on the screen.

            Is this a HD tv, check it with a different resolution and different input.

              no it is not an HD tv
              it is RT-29FB75VE

              no there is no bleeding when the white areas expand wide
              i dont think the crt is weak because the colors, contrast and sharpness is really good (better than most new led tv's)
              lowering contrast or brightness have no effect on this phenomena
              my other sony 21" crt tv make it too but in a much smaller manner

              I have played ALOT in the service secret menu, and i was able to adjust the screen through the time to its best ever possible state
              however there are a LOT of other functioned in it that I dont understand what does it make and it seem not making any difference although its wide range of choice (0 to 2000!!!)

              let me share these menus
              please dont judge the vertical lines from these pics as it is not clear with so many details

                MacBook Air A2337 (820-02016) USB-C Port Issue – Only Works in One Orientation (CC Line Problem?)
                by rounin
                Hi everyone,

                I'm working on a MacBook Air 2020 (A2337, board 820-02016) and running into a strange USB-C issue. I've gone through quite a bit of testing and part replacement, but I'm stuck — hoping someone here can shed some light.

                🛠 Original Issue
                The machine initially wouldn't negotiate 20V over USB-C — stuck at 5V.
                Diagnosis showed PP1V5_UPC0_LDO_CORE shorted to ground.

                I replaced U3100 (UF400) using a donor board (A2179), and the machine powers on fine now.

                ⚠️ New Problem: One USB-C Port Only Works in One Orientation...

                Three 820-01700 32GB Logic Boards Same Issue: Won't Wake From Hibernate
                by ugamazing
                I have three identical-spec 820-01700 boards (2.6/32/512), and ALL THREE boards came to us with the same fault, from different sources: The boards don't wake from hibernation with the keyboard or lid, they ONLY wake when you press the power button. I understand this is a very minor issue, but the boards must be fixed!

                We will of course begin with the obvious (checking lid signals), but I couldn't help but notice these three boards were all 32GB variants. Has anyone noticed an issue relating to these 32GB boards in particular? I of course don't think it's a RAM issue, but it's bizarre...

                Alienware 15 R2 Service Tag: DL7NN32 ISSUE (Battery is not charging)
                by Simone Vergani
                Hello everyone,

                I'm experiencing an issue with my Alienware 15 R2 (Service Tag: DL7NN32). The laptop works perfectly when connected to the AC adapter — it powers on and functions normally. However, the battery does not charge. If I disconnect the DC adapter, the laptop shuts down immediately, as the battery is at 0%. I have replaced the battery with a new compatible one, but the issue persists. I also replaced the AC adapter with a compatible one, but the battery still doesn't charge.

                To assist with troubleshooting, I'm attaching two power circuit schematics:

                Dynabook Satellite Pro C50D-B-100 - BIOS Issue, Black Screen
                by wizard13
                Hello everyone,

                I am experiencing a BIOS-related issue with my Dynabook Satellite Pro C50D-B-100. When I power on the laptop, the screen stays black, and there is no response from the system. I suspect a corrupted BIOS.

                I have checked the forum and the available documentation but could not find a solution specific to my issue.

                LG OLE65C1 Stand-By issue
                by Titus6
                Hello everyone,

                I bought an OLED65C1 refurbished TV back in 2022 from a shop. The TV is awesome, this is my first OLED and I really love it.

                However I have an issue with the TV since the end of last year. I noticed when my TV is in Stand-By, sometimes the LED goes off then comes back on. When do so it seem periodical. It only goes away for 1-2 seconds, than comes back on. The TV NEVER turnes off, while it's on, so it's not overheating issue or electrical power issue.

                I bought a service remote (MKJ39170828) and checked the menu 3. Power On/Off Status. I took...
