Attached photo shows a resistor (I think) with the following written

And across the top of it:

It measures 1"L x .6"H x .25"W
2 leads

It started flaming in a 21" Viewsonic Monitor, and I'm not sure how or
where to order a replacement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, it was located a few inches from the flyback and right next to
some power transistors. Is it likely that the root of the problem is
something other than this part?

The photo didn't survive usenet, but from your description it sounds like a
5.6nF 2KV capacitor.

For a replacement try an electronics parts specialist the ones that don't
stock those parts usually know who does.

There's a reasonable chance that that was the only fault, so you could try
just replacing it.

Bingo. And its likely to be part of a snubber, so altho the TV will
likely work without it, dont run it, as it would quickly sustain
heavier damage. Failure is unlikely to be due to a fault elsewhere in
this case.

Of course theres no guarantee thats what it is and is doing, but its
likely.
