grey screen with white lines

I have a 27 inch Hitachi tv model number 27cx3b. When I turn the tv on the screen is grey with white lines on it. The audio is fine and everything. I did search to see if there is a fix for this and found that there is a resistor, that is going bad. The number of the resistor mentioned is 3340. I couldnt find it on the circuit board anywhere. So i was wondering if the number is different for the Hitachi. THe tv was free, so if its junk no big deal but if I can fix it with a 99cent resistor i will. Thanks for the help.

Are the lines horizontal or vertical? How thick are they? Can you hear the sound OK?

The sound is fine, nothing wrong with sound, just the picture. The lines are white horizontal lines, that are pretty thin. the whole screen is grey.

g2 bias missing. look for open resitors or bad joints on the soldering around the line transformer.

Then why on earth are you working on a TV? If you aren't qualified, a TV is no place to start.

Having said that, my vote is for a missing 200 volt line.

qualified, a TV is

Sorry Im not big shot like yourself on tv's, Never said I was the one fixing it any way. All I wanted was some insight on what could be wrong with the tv, so maybe i could get it fixed.
