Help! Is My TV Dead?

I have a Samsung TV manufactured in 1998. I picked it up from a trash pile on bulky-item pickup day!! To my surprise, it worked fine. But occasionally, the picture would "compress" or shrink in an oscillating fashion. It would "shrink" in the way that the image "shrinks" when you turn off a TV (right before the screen goes black). It would oscillate, and sometimes turn itself off. (sound was fine) Gradually, this started to happen more often, until it began to turn itself off after only a couple of minutes. Now, when I hit the power button, the TV does not come on at all, but there is a "click" sound, followed immediatley by another "click" sound as the TV shuts itself back off. Any ideas? Thanks!!!

I don't know how to identify the flyback. I have soldered and desoldered things, but I don't know TVs too well. Do you have a link to a diagram/picture, or can you explain how to locate the flyback?
