If I bend the circuit board the picture comes back.
I've examined and probed the solder connections on the bottom of the
board, but I can't find any that are obviously bad.
Because the picture comes back when I bend the board, am I right to
assume that it is a bad solder connection or could it still be a bad
resistor in the vertical circuit.
Can any one give me some tips to find the problem?
How can I locate the vertical IC?


It's very likely a solder connection, the vertical IC is usually a small
8-10 pin chip mounted to a heatsink, though sometimes it's separate
transistors. You can follow the traces from the vertical yoke winding back
to the output circuit. Try poking at parts with a plastic or wooden stick
and see if you can narrow down the problem.
