Hi to all,
Hi Timmy,

on the following thread on the UK-VRR forum (post #10) you will find 3 pdf files (photo) pertaining to the repair of the Sinclair MTV Series micro-TVs.
Files are too large for this forum.

https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...d.php?t=206856

The third one is the most complete (39 pages), recent & interesting, updated data Dec 2021.

Your TV's failure:
do you have a full screen raster or just one bright H line across screen?
If only one super-bright line, reduce brightness to avoid damaging the phosphor.

If you have a raster, the bright slanted lines are the H retrace, visible because brightness pot is set too high.

Can you get a picture?
i suppose you're feeding the set from a ATSC to analogue converter + a RF modulator.

Hope this helps,

Best Regards
