If no arc into a bottle with the HV wire removed and inserted the trouble is before that. Set is prone to some nasty problems---a number (about 12) similar large diodes fail all over the set---have to check the voltages to know as they will test ok even with a diode tester.

Make sure you removed the right wire---ALSO VERY COMMON is when any of the HV wires into the block are inserted they bend over and will work for a while but sooner or later cause issues---you would be able to see this if disconnect the block and remove each red wire---they slide down and plug in---find one or more folded over inside the tubes and you have found your problem.

The Block is now very cheap --seen them for 20 dollars.

Look to the wires first!

It is the 169 chassis-over 300 different models used it and are different-answer something for me--does it have a GREEN power light that comes on for a second and goes off?

I know this set well and to be honest hated working on them--Let me know about the power light and I will tell you what I know.

At one point in time this was a very good set--I do understand about paying a lot to get it fixed and having it bad again.

I am here to help people and I bet I know more about this set than almost anyone else here.

Resolder all poor connections on power supply board and this should fix your problem.

Sounds like the flyback, can you look on the rear tag and let me know which chassis you have and verify your model number and I will post which flyback you need as well as where to get a replacement with free tech support to help you install it.

Try a "hard restart", which simply means unplugging the power cord of the TV, and replugging it after 4 hours have passed. This technique reprograms the electronics to a certain extent.
You can also visit the manufacturer's website or call their tollfree number for problem solving info.
Hope these suggestions help you out.

Check the bulbs. If one is burned out, you will get this problem. The bulb is easy to change but will run you about $300.

do you see any tiny lites you see on the end of the tubes or crts are the filiments?

May be light tunnel repair. Is the bottom just darker?

You may have a problem with the video switching IC. Stargazer
