My friends Toshiba 32A43 Powers on and works for about 5 minutes, then horizontal lines are spread evenly across screen and it starts zooming out and the picture starts turning pink before a pop noise is made and the tube goes black. Unplugging the unit and reconnecting the power will restart the process. I have done nothing to the unit myself, but I am thinking that a high power flyback converter or something along those lines may be the problem, but figured I would ask around before diving in.
First of all, there is no such thing as a "high power flyback converter". There is a flyback transformer, but if it was bad you would have absolutely no picture at all. The fact that you dont even know what the basic components are suggests that you should not be "diving in" to someone else's TV. Do everyone a favor and allow an experienced tech to service the set.

You seem to be right... there is no "high power flyback converter", but there is a High Voltage Flyback Transformer. It looks like you figured out that I was referencing that... my exact wording was not perfect, but I do know the part, and "the basic components". I also have the proper tools to discharge the CRT safely.
So thank you for your concern, but I have replaced numerous Analog/Video boards on iMac G3s (the CRT based iMacs), and I am also Apple Computer certified to do so. I have seen A/V boards (that is an Apple reference to the Analog/Video board that houses the flyback transformer) cause problems other then just a black screen.
I guess that is maybe why I posted a question here hoping someone might actually try and help and not be a [email protected]
