Hi there. This is my first post so please bear with me.
Make and model - Swisstec J32/2CG 32" LCD
I was watching a film earlier when all of a sudden my TV made a slight popping/thudding sound and turned itself off completely, the screen was black and the blue "on" light had gone out, not even the orange "standby" light was showing.
I turned it off at the mains, and while doing so I noticed it was quite warm. This is normal as I notice this all of the time and don't really do anything about it, I figured this time my ignorance had gotten the better of me and it had finally decided to conk out. But, this time, I could smell what seemed like burning plastic.
Anyway, I left it for a little while, turned it back on, and then it made another popping sound, this time the screen went black, but the blue "on" light stayed on.
I tried again turning it off at the mains, and then back on, and it did the same.
Finally I decided to open it up and see if I could spot the cause of the smell. There was nothing visual, so I plugged in the power lead whilst it was opened up and turned it on to see if I could smell anything. I could, and it gradually got stronger the longer I left it turned on.
I unplugged it all once more, and removed a metal lid from what seemed like the power supply. I noticed on the side of one of the larger components the plastic had melted away, and also some sort of yellow tape protecting the coil had melted.
Here are a few pictures -

Does anyone know which component it is and how much would it cost to repair?
Many thanks for your time in advance.
