This may also be caused by a shorted winding in the yoke. in my experience ,this is the most common cause for this problem.
There are three things you should try. If you can safely pull the back cover out safely, do so. First thing to look for,is the suction cup attached to the picture tube securely? Be sure that it is. Make sure the TV is not plugged in, when you check for a good ground to the Tube (suction Cup). Then plug the TV in and power up. Still no pic? If you feel that this is not the problem, next, pull the board out of the TV. Be sure to discharge the picture tube before you remove the suction cup. Unplug the TV. A wire taped to a flat screwdriver, the other end of the wire connected to the silver braid that surrounds the picture tube. Now slip the screwdriver under the suction cup, you will hear a snap, you have discharged the tube, you may remove the suction cup. And you may pull the board completely out of the TV. Find the vertical IC and resolder the 7 or 9 pins. Do not use excess solder and short the pins together. Each pin must soldered individually and not together. Check for bad solder grounds on the horizontal transformer. This transformer is usually a small square box with five or six pins. When not soldered with a good ground, it will crate the problem you describe. Next, solder the pins on the Flyback Transformer. Resolder any and all power resistors. A power resistor is one of two watts or more. I do not believe your horizontal transistor is bad in this case, you resolder this as well. A bat transistor would hand you a dead TV. Do go over the rest of the board and really look close for any and all bad solder grounds, solder as necessary. Last be sure you have good solder grounds on the back of the small board that connects to the picture tube. I'm sure you will get your picture back, try all of the above and let me know how things go. Thanks for asking and show all hands of support!
