Help. Is my TV Dead???

Hello,My TV has a problem which has been getting worse and worse. When I turn theTV on, the bottom half of the image is compressed upward toward the middleof the screen. So, if the screen is showing a head shot, you'll see the tophalf of the head fine, then there's a bright band where the nose is, andblack screen underneath that. As the TV warms up, the bottom half graduallyunfurls to cover the full screen, but never completely (maybe a half-inch ofblack screen remains). This "decompression" process now takes almost anhour. I took the back off and adjusted the "height" screw, as well as almostevery other screw back there - to no avail.Is this fixable? The TV is an 8 or 9 year old Toshiba, so it's nothingspecial. But, if it's an easy fix, I'd just as soon repair it.Any ideas?Thanks everyone!Fred Mann

your problem lies in the vertical section prolly just a capacitor,though not famialiar with the set and no cct it may well be the vertical ic or transistors or possably the suppy voltage from the eht is not correct
