Dead Sanyo

[wildmaninal]

I got this 36" sanyo from my brother thinking that I might be able to repair it, the model number on it is DS35520.

I read on one site that it could be just a transistor or a combination of a transitor and transformer. I do know how to solder, and I still know some of my electronic components, I took 3 years of electronics in a vocational school.

I was told the TV did make a high pitch noise at one point when my brother attempted to turn it on.

Any suggestions? What is the best way to test these components?
