SONY KV-32S40 32" Trinitron screen distortion bowtie
 

The bottom half of my screen intermittently shrinks like a bowtie and
sometimes the picture would just disappear. Giving the TV a good
smack fixes it. Then, after the TV warms up, the problem no longer
intermittently appears.

I resoldered a bunch of connections. Now, when I turn the TV on, I
get the degauss sound and the power light blinks like it normally
does during warm up, but the picture never comes on. When I was
resoldering, I found a spot that looked like sony spilled some solder
and may have shorted two connections on the mainboard. I cleaned that
solder off. Could that have been an intentional solder connection on
this TV model?

Also, I pulled on that thick red wire that goes from this transformer
thing on the main board directly to the picture tube. I then
realized it wasn't supposed to come out of the transformer thing.
TIA
