Sony XBR CRT Power Issues

[[email protected]]

I have an early 90's 32 Sony XBR CRT Television. The TV would
occassionaly turn itself off. Now the unit will not power on at all.
When I plug it in I hear it getting power somewhere. However the unit
does not power on from the switch. The fuses are good. I repair PC's
and Monitors so I'm familiar with CRT's. I've never messed with a tv
or tuner or anything. I've heard this is a common problem. Can anyone
give me any direction on fixing this issue?

Thanks....

These sets had a lot of bad solder connections on the main board. Bad
soldering on the horizontal drive transformer eventually kills the
HOT.
