Good day ladies and gentlemen. I'm trying to fix an old TV of mine that just went on me recently. What happens is when its plugged in it makes a sound best described as an ignition failing to start, it repeats this noise every second or so.

Im useless when it comes to electronics but I couldn't help take a look myself and see what was going on. The sound seems to come from a large black object plugged into the circuit board.

Anyone got any ideas? Or can I beat it with a hammer now?

The power unit is probably shagged. Last time I looked for a TV repair service in Dublin I drew a blank, buy a new one.

LOPT arcing by the sounds of it. I'm assuming it's an old CRT set when I say that though. Is it ? If it is then the cost of repair would be approximately 75 yo 90 euro depending on make and age.
