Check for a shorted diode in the horizontal section. This is a common fault on computer monitors. It could also be a failed capacitor and possibly transistor. But check for the diode first.

I do not have a drawing on this. Is there a common part ( pincushion output transistor) that fails? Thanks in advance Roy E. Adams C.E.T./C.A.
