It might be the same or similar problem that I just had on a multiple repeat. Someone here helped me---thank you. Check the deflection panel. It is standing vertically behind the flyback. My symptom was the picture was going dark, but I could see it causing many other intermittant symptoms. I took the board off of the smps module, and was glad I did cause it allowed me to see bad connections I would have otherwise missed if I had left it on the module. It had bad connections ALL over it. BTW. Even after getting the cure to my symptom from someone here, heating, cooling, flexing, and tapping would not force it to act up. I allmost blew it off, till I seen a single suspicious joint from the front of set with a flashlight. I will ALLWAYS pull and solder these now.
