Tv had not been on all night about 4 pm turned tv on ran for about 10 minutes and shut off by itself. when turning back on tv clicked 4 times then stopped and stayed off. this happened multiple times unplugged tv for about 30 minutes then plugged back in and now it squeals, without touching any buttons, no change when I hit buttons. what's next take it to the roof and drop it!!!

That is a CTC203 chassis that is VERY difficult to estimate without seeing it... The "squeal" symptom you described indicates that the HOT (horizontal output transistor) has shorted. (Q14401 RCA p/n#242224 (2sd2578)). But I would not stop there... Check also: Q14101 RCA p/n#244223, R14107 p/n#244214 (43 Ohm 1/4 Watt) and really go over the underside of the board for poor solder connections. Tri State Module can rebuild that board to like new for $100.00 dollars plus shipping. and even if a shop locally did the teardown and re-assembly that's a lot cheaper than the cost of a new TV of comaprable value. Hope this helps! Bill
