Your problem is flyback transformer cap is leak or tared due to ageing or rust. Since it is high voltage transformer your boyfried get shock. If you have technical knowledge or technical support just try the following process. Switchoff the tv and remove power chord from plug. Wait minimum 4hrs. Then remove the back cover clean picture tube and transformer cap with IP solution. After allowing 30mins dry switch on the tv. All the process will be done by service engineer only. Risk of electric shock.

I have an RCA 36 inch tv, the color is messed up, it has a round circle and it will not change channels

If the set wasn't dropped or physically dammaged the chances of it being the picture tube is very small.
The set is probably magnetized and needs degaussing (demagnetizing).
All CRT type TV's have an internal demagnetizing circuit that is engaged when the set is first turned on after being off for the day.
If this circuit is working then you sometimes hear a "bonk" sound (about 1/2 a second long when the set is first turned on. If this circuit isn't working the set will become magnetized over time and will have to be degaussed using a degauss coil available at a TV repair shop (cost aprox. $35.00) and you should have the circuit checked at the same time. A set will also become magnetized if a large speaker (magnet) or motor is close to the TV. Be sure to vote/rate me if this helped Thanks!

TV keeps flicking off and on. Picture will go away and fade back

Seems like a bad contact somewhere - could be bad / deteriorated solder connections somewhere on the circuit board, broken wires or similar - check any connectors (especially in the area where you noticed sparking), see if the pins have bad solder contacts, also check other components - resolder any bad connections, this might solve the problem.

Mike-It looks like the power supply is going on your tv-it can be replaced. This happens, usually, when little kids are playing wth the remote or power button on the tv. Turn it off and on a whole bunch of times in a row, kids love to do that, and it burns out the power supply part- to make a CRT tv like your RCA36 incher- which is a beautiful machine- I have the RCA/PROSCAN 36 incher-LAST longer...You should always wait 5 min between turning it off and on. Don't ever sell it. This one is worth fixing. It has better color and sound Than the new plasmas and lcds-The Pros know this. Be carefull, they might try and talk you out of it-so they can fix it and have it for themselves. So what if it's not High Deff. It's a great set.
