LCD, All new, and minty! (Jennifer amused at the prospect) ...Yes that is a bad part all right, the way it is weld spattered My guess that flyback is bad and melted it with a voltage arc (pretty much what I said way back at the beginning of this thread)...You are going to have a big pile of DIY satifaction into this by the time you also do trans/caps...Carefull messing around with that width coil they can be hard to find and or replace...America's sweetheart has left the building.👸

If it comes to the nuclear option you can have the chassis fixed or replaced.

That's the "DIY job well done satifaction" I am missing out on? Just pay a guy?...Omg, I laughed so hard, I may have pee"d a little...Drink a Creme flavored soda throw it on the workbench, and just fix it like a girl...Omg, so funny.

Mike A:
That is why it is the nuclear option you turd. If he is overwhelmed and considering an LCD than I am offering a better alternative.

Fixing PCB's and replacing low power chips is one thing - I can certainly understand not wanting to poke around inside of a CRT (I am - but that's because I want to learn how to fix them)

Vapuser - Please don't put in an LCD.. just because...
if you are liking fixing the primary machine (and it seems like you are)
then figuring out what that chip is (and I'm going to guess its a voltage regulator... It seems like its always a voltage regulator...) then maybe look into replacing it.

Here is what I've learned on CRT's - If you are nervous - discharge the tube (while not plugged in) and you will be fine.. that's it. Lots of videos on this.

There are plenty of guys that can fix them too...

My Analogy: I can fix pretty much anything on a car.. I've even rebuilt a couple engines.. But if there is an issue in the automatic transmission - that goes to an expert.. Experience counts on those.. to much can go wrong.
