Because it's a gamble. You can spend 50 to 60 bucks in an "attempt"
to fix it. If your time and effort is worth anything at all
considerably more than that. And when the new fly-back is in place
there is a very good chance that the set will be just as dead as it
is now.

That's why I'm asking for advice on troubleshooting. Besides, if I
wasn't trying to fix the TV, I'd probably be WATCHING TV, or playing
on the internet, so so my time and effort isn't worth all that much.

Just be mindful that when working on a set (even one completely disconnected
from power) that there is more than one place you can touch that will light you
up pretty good. The old rule being "one hand in a pocket". A 27 inch will have
about 30,000 volts stored in the tube and some of the larger capacitors can get
your attention as well.

Hi...

I think it specified the "left" hand in the pocket...

Take care, be safe, and happy holidays.
