Hi all,

I finally decided to order a soldering tool so that I can try fixing it.

The first thing I want to check is the flyback transformer and the analog board joints in general, as iMac660 suggested they could very well be the culprit here.

I have a question regarding the soldering procedure, though: I wonder if it's necessary to remove the analog board from the chassis in order to work on it? If I need to remove the analog board from the chassis, how should I proceed? I don't know if it's possible and/or practical to make the Mac sit on its side without the rear case on, so I'm looking for some advice here.

Thanks for all the help!
