I have a SONY KV-27V26 made in 1997, and it went dead last night. When it
starts the FBT makes a "tzk" noise for a half a second, and then stops. No
visible spark can be seen around the FBT, not even in the complete darkness.
The noise seems to be louder than normal operation (?), like a continuos
spark, but not sure. Then the power led keeps flashing every second or so.
Is this a short iside the flyback transformer, and is stoped by protection?
Or is it a short somewhere on the high voltage?
I have a background in electronics, but not too much experience in TV
repair. Any help is much appreciated. I can be also reached at icsaki (at)
hotmail.com

Thanks,
Istvan
