There is nothing you can do but call a TV service shop and get an estimate. This is a CTC197 chassis and needs trouble shooting possibly bad IHVT and S/C HOT. May even be trouble in the SMPS sections.

IHVT = Flyback Transformer HOT = Horizontal Output Transistor SMPS = Switched Mode Power Supply.

Thanks for the help, was hoping this was something I could attempt repairing myself....

I would guess that kip, after reading your original post, based his suggestion on an estimation that you probably do not have the background required to fix this yourself.

That's would I would conclude, and I'd make the same recommendation. If you really don't know what you're doing, and/or don't have the proper tools, you could do more harm than good (to the TV and to yourself!)

Well I guess my 38 yrs as a CET and working factory service for RCA when they had factory service does not count. Not to mention I work on these 6 days a week. Get A Life Fella.

Read my post again.

Carefully, this time %^)

I was talking about the original poster, not you.

Ok Accept my apologizes I just didn't like the final line. kip

I didn't like entering it, either, just don't want to see anyone get hurt.
