Today, I tore back in it and when I hit the power button, it fired right up, but that didn't last long. I don't have a print for this set, the free one that I downloaded isn't worth a crap, and I'm not paying $18 for a download that may not be any better than the free one (the TV isn't even worth $18). I soldered the crap out of it and flexed/beat on the circuit board. I don't think the trouble is vibration sensitive and I subbed in a new horizontal driver transistor, to no avail. At that point, I said, "enough of this s***" and slammed it back together. Hopefully, he'll come get it and I'm not taking in any more crap like this. If people want a BPC '90's TV, then go to the thrift store and buy one for $10 or ride around the night before trash pick-up.
