Tony; It is a problem...and this includes Toshiba. The actual "thickness"of the main board has been trimmed. You may have noticed that most Chinese/Korean products, no matter what the Label that goes on..have added a screw hole to mount the Flyback transformer to be supported by a screw thru the back cover. Circuit boards have gotten so thin, that the weight of the flyback has to be supported by other means.
