Default CRT monitor: flashes on screen and burnt smell

I have had this on some models of monitors. Most of the time it was
the flyback transformer and HV multiplier assembly. Sometimes the CRT
was arcing internally.

I don't want to dissapoint you, but you should be seriously shopping
for a new monitor.

Recently, my Hyundai ImageQuest Q910 19" monitor has been acting
up. Occasionally, there would be flashes across the screen,
similar to what you get when a fridge shuts off nearby.


Over a week or two, the flashes become more frequent. One day,
there was a big one, spanning maybe 10% of the frame. Later that
day, I smelled something burning in the monitor and turned it
off in a hurry.


There is no obvious damage inside. Where would you look first ?

Methinks he wanted to fix the son of a bitch he has now, not replace a
nice CRT with a crappy LCD.
