you may have dry jointed other connexions on the ic and the microprocessor has shut the tv down.do the easy things first dont give yourself extra work for nothing

try turning the lower screen voltage adjustment on the flyback transformer clockwise to see if a raster appears .if you only have a horizontal line then the scan ic is probably faulty

That little spark probably blew the vertical output I.C. and the microprocessor is shutting the set down to prevent any further damage. Replace the I.C.

There are many electronics suppliers on the net I use several. Here is one of them www.electronix.com But first you have to look at the front of the IC and read the part number on it. Vertial IC often start with LA (for example LA7838) They don't always start with this, this is an example only. The IC will probably only cost a couple of dollars, it will cost you more for shipping than the part is worth. You can check it out at the site I mentioned above. If it is going to be too much, let me know the part number, I may have a used one on an old chassis you can have.
When removing the IC it is sometimes easier to remove the heat sink it's fastened to by de-soldering it as well and remove them together -- Dan

that will be the right ic la8427k just a couple of £s in the uk

sorry my mistake put l instead of t so still the right one

TA8427k is also a vertical IC -- Dan

Parts should be in today when I get home, so hopefully I can get all this stuff off my floor and back on the stand tonight....

OK you're almost there. Don't run the set with this small picture or you will burn out the vert IC again. The problem you have now is probably a capacitor right near the Vertical IC. It will be one of the electrolytic capacitors (they're the tubular looking caps standing up). they will have a black stripe down one side. Pay attention to the direction they are in; the black stripe is the negative side of the capacitor. Change all caps in the area of the vert IC. It is a good chance that it will be the cap connected to pin 5 of the IC (this is the output pin) Follow the trace lines from the IC and see if it leads to a cap. I'm guessing at the value being 1000uf at 50volts. This is a guess only of the value. there may be 2 or 3 caps near the IC you should change and they will all be different values. Change them with exact values. Caps are cheap approx. 50cents each.
I hope this helps, I will be away until Tues, I'll check in then -- Dan

Hello, I'm back, when I last wrote I mentioned the caps would have a black stripe, well your's have gray stripes, this is normal (it all depends on the manufacturer) When replacing then make sure the negative gray stripe goes in the same direction.
My first guess of which cap to change would be the small one closest to the IC. In the image all I can see of it is that it is a 35volt cap and what looks to be 100uf (because all I can see in the image is 100), but check it close in case it's 1000uf. If it is 1000uf and you put 100uf in you'll damage the IC again.
If that cap doesn't fix it try any others in that general area and again see if they are soldered to a trace line that leads to the IC.

If you don't have a local store to buy these caps from you can just take them out of any old TV or electronic device that has the same value. The physical size is not important because different manufacturers will make caps different sizes (height / diameter etc.) but it is important that the value of the cap correct. It has to be the correct 'uf' value and the voltage has to be the same or higher. For example the cap I'm suggesting to change first is a 35volt cap, do not use less than 35 volt cap but you can use a 50 volt or 100 volt etc. what ever is available to you.

This line you are having could also be a result of the one leg you had trouble with (the one you said you couldn't get solder to stick to it) If this is the case, you could solder a small jumper wire from that leg to the next spot down the trace line that it is supposed to be soldered to. In other words, if you can follow the copper trace line that this leg is supposed to be soldered to, it will come to another point at which another component will be soldered (such as a cap or resistor etc) you can solder a thin gauge wire from the leg of the IC to the next point of that trace line. -- Dan
