Did you ever sit through that scope training course? Real basic stuff like this really needs to be understood before you can really hope to be able to repair a TV except by sheer luck...
Yep, I watched it. I was pretty much on the right track and just needed a few visual instructions to understand the rest. I can now do all the basics and am learning more each day.
