I just made a discovery -- when the base and collector of the HOT are shorted momentarily, the TV will display various forms of the usual scan pattern, and sometimes even a mix between the scan pattern and static. When the TV is not displaying, the base is at +12V, The collector is open (connected through a capacitor, specifically) and the emitter is at +12V. I think this means that the PSU for the transistor is bad, correct?
