Yes change the Blue or Grey box caps in and around the HOT.
That's if its got them as you have not given Model or Chassis Number
so we are guessing.

It's about 10 yrs old, and I know its time is up.

But a few years ago I coated the flyback xformer with gasket maker and
had it working since, and since i'm a cheap mofo, maybe it can last a
little longer with your help.

Yesterday the picture suddenly got somewhat 'zoomed in'. There is also
a slight pincushion effect. The amount of zoom might be about 1.5x,
enough to be annoying.

Any idea where I should look?

Thanks!

Also the PCC Diode, you will notice the small rectangular blue or grey caps
will appear slightly bulging at the sides. Change any of them that appear
swelled out a bit. Replace with exact values.

Oops sorry,

model: F31226ES
chassis: CTC169AU

how many caps are we talkin about? And by 'around the hot' are you
talkin about the real dangerous ones (if not properly discharged)
around where the cord connects?

HOT Horizontal Output Transistor .
Maybe 3 ,but first you will most probably have to rebuild the SMPS.

If you don't know what the HOT is then you have no business messing
around inside your TV.
