Most likely one of the regulator ICs. You need to start by changing the
MCZ3001D in both the HV and Horizontal drive circuits. They are cheapest if
you buy them under the Hitachi part number rather than the Sony, which I do
not recall at this time.

If that is not the fix, you could have any number of problems and these are
difficult to troubleshoot. The next most likely thing would be the flyback.
The ICs fix most of them.

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
