i found an earlier question very similar to my own. I have a 32" sony
trinitron TV and the picture cuts in and out. it started about 6 mons
ago and at first it was just when the tv was warming up, the problem
has gotten progressively worse. the screen stays black until the tv has
"warmed" up for about 5 minutes. then the picture cuts on and off
without ever losing sound. it does it a little less frequently as the
tv is completely "warmed" up. The problem has gotten very bad now. it
is not channel searching. it stays on the correct channel (channel i
chose) there is never any change in the picture when it is showing (no
color or clarity changes) it just cycles picture/no picture, no matter
how long tv is on or how long its been left turned off. i am
electronically illiterate so i cant "fix" the problem myself, i would
just like to know what it may be, wether it's going to be mondo
expensive to have repaired, or should i just chuck it and get a new
one. all replies greatly appreciated.

This Tv has what is called and IK curcuit. what that does is wait till
all 3 guns are warmed up equally, so you don't get bad color or grey
scale when the unit is turned on. Sony and many others thought that was
a good idea. NOT ! anyway , you might try to turn up the G2 adjustment
on you flyback it is the bottom adjustment. DO NOT turn it up much just
a little tit...up wait till the set comes on and crank it just a
little.. it has worked in out shop. And as others have posted your tube
it on its way out think about buying a new set
