I siliconed the beads on the legs of the diodes right next to it. I thought that took care of it. Next day--similar symptom---no where near as loud (beads were definetly ringing) Had to pull the HDT and take off the black plastic. I put some varnish in the cap of a spray can. Turned the HDT upside down and put it in the varnish for a while. (tried momentary varnishing and it didn't work) Let dry and reinstalled---no problem now. I've varnished a lot of yokes over the years--and a few smps transformers---but never a HDT. Next-- Toshiba cn32h95 tac9810 pic was going dark. I made assumption of bad tuner based on that I've replaced a few before (ela12lx5 $12.41 tritron) and resolder the can directly behind it. Still had same symptom. Found pin on micro ta12-- (uhh forgot--and all ready put it together) I think ta1295? Whatever---found a pin that was never soldered from the factory---how it worked at all was amazing. This is something most people would find (that is people on this list) I just thought I'd point it out.
