The fact that there is a vertical line ie north south , reveals that several things are working ok including the flyback transformer and the power supply and the vertical section, therefore the solution stands a good chance of being realativly simple like a dry joint on the deflection yoke plug or something very close to it.All it should need is a simple resolder . I have repaired same fault on many sets over the years. Good luck !.

Sorry but sounds like 'something in the line' uneconomic to repair. Even if you did find someone to repair it cheaper than a replacement would cost you've then got a 12 year old telly full of components that are designed to last 10 years. Good reason and excuse to get a new one.

I'm thinking you probably need a new television too. But you can get pretty cheap ones at WalMart these days...
