I've got a 27" Magnasonic TV (actually my mother in-laws).. For a few weeks, she was telling me when the sound was turned up, or she walked across the floor, the picture would cut in and out.. (Sounded to me like maybe a loose solder joint(s) being affected by vibration.. Now she is telling me when she turns it on, all she gets is a horizontal bar in the center of the screen and after about 10 minutes, she gets a picture.
I have an electronics background, but spent most of my career working in digital electronics.. Can anyone suggest me where I should start looking for this problem. (HV section? - Flyback maybe?) And does this sound like a solder joint problem or component failure.
Appreciate any help/suggestions..
Thanks, Dave
