HI, I have a 36" (maybe 32) RCA tv, model number F36669YX51, the set is only a couple of years old and has never been moved since date of purchase...Anyways the set started making little poping noises the other day, causing the screen to flicker slightly every time i heard the noise. This progressed into much louder noises and the screen eventually going all the way off and then on again untill it quit all together. Looking down into the set i can breifly see current arcing every time I try to turn it on. The arcing is coming from or going to a liitle box (posiblly a voltage transformer???) on the bottom of the chasis in the middle of the set, it has a large red wire coming out the top that connects to the top of the picture tube. I'm no electrician but I somewhat know my way around electronics and I would like to try and remedy this problem on my own. Any help would GREATLY be appreciated. Thanks in Advance, Josh
