I am having some problems with this 36" tv. Sometimes it will turn on
and sometimes it won`t. I had it on all day last Sunday and shut it off
and the next day it would not turn on. It will make the usual clicking
noises from the relays and the standby light blinks, but thats it. I
have tried to hit the side to see if I had a bad solder joint or to see
if something might be loose, but it was no use. I do have a service
manual for this and according to the 7 blinks from the standby light it
indicates "horizontal deflection stopped". I just wanted to check to see
if someone might have run into this problem on this series of tv before
I jump in and start checking things. Thanks, Rob

Once i've had a similar problem with a Philips TV set, and it turned
out to be a very thin crack in the solder joint on the flyback, very
difficult to see, and gave very odd symptoms a bit like the ones
you're describing. A magnifier might help to see these cracks.
Otherwise, supply problems, try to see with a scope how is the supply
of the flyback.

Hope it helps. Good luck!
