I would agree with Mike that it sounds like a *dry joint* having been in
the TV/Video service trade for 15 years. The dry joints usually appear
around the pins of the line output transformer, sometimes around the
SMPS transformer. As he says, a GOOD local tv repairer should be able to
sort it out for a reasonable fee.
