On those boards 8 out of 10 have a bad flyback especially if the diode is shorted on the other side of the board thats on a heat sink or if the horz output is shorted thats why its cheaper to replace other then fix unless you can find a cheap flyback last time I checked the oem fly was around $80-m $90 from zenith.
