CRT Television 'pops' and 'clicks'

[millerterryt]

Today I turned on my CRT television and I got a series of about 3 or 4 clicks followed by a few pops. I could smell some electrical smoke coming from the CRT and knew that something bad had happened. I took it apart and turned it on and saw a spark coming from this piece.





This CRT is moderately old and has quite a buildup of dust in it.

Any ideas on how I can fix this or if I can? Thanks for the help.

I wouldn't go prying inside CRT televisions without training -- the part you have marked produces very high voltages that will gladly kill you.

Talk to a repair guy -- who will probably suggest you buy a new TV.
