Default Help with no picture on RCA F32649 / CTC203

Hi,

Trying to fix my inlaws TV. At this point it's scrap to them, so I've
broken out my rarely used Hakko and reflowed everything I could on the
neck board and main board that I could get to. I looked for exploded
capacitors (all I've ever messed with is a few arcade monitors), but
didn't find any.

Searching F32649 on the net pretty much only reveals people saying it
could be the Flyback Transformer. Looks like something tough to
replace.

I've got a high voltage probe, and it seems like the TV is getting up
to at least 10kV. Maybe 20kV.

But, the real symptoms are as follows.
1. High Dog Hair and Cigarette Household.
2. Just put an area heater in front of it for a few days before it
went bad.
3. Started by screen going from full screen to just a horizontal
line. Would snap back to full screen.
4. Apparently did that and some weird on/off behavior for a day or
two.
5. Now, just does the old "click" in a 4 or 5 time on/off pattern at
the powersupply. No picture at all.

Any ideas? If it is possibly the flyback, where can I buy one from?
How much would it cost?

Thanks,

Jon
