You disturbed something back in to place that is failing. The fix will be
temporary. It will take an experienced TV service tech to properly service
this for you.

The fault may be an intermittent solder connection, or a component that is
starting to fail. The tech can not visually find the failure, he will have
to provoke the set to be in the failing condition, and then troubleshoot it
to find where the failure is.

Servicing these sets, is not based on simple resistance measurements. There
are proper procedures, and tests to properly service a TV set.

For safety reasons you should not be messing in your set. There are serious
safety issues involved.

First, thanks for replying.

I don't know anything about TV repair. Where is the vertical
deflection circuit board? The flyback... is that the 3-4" tall black
part that sits on the mainboard between the AV outs and what looks
like silver heat sinks? It also has a think red wire going from it to
the top of the back of the TV.

I can see no signs of cracking. Would this be visible or would I need
to measure resistances all over?

Anyone have a picture/layout of one of the inside of one of these
models? Or just of a Sony or generic layout would be helpful too.

Thanks agian,
