Most likely SMPS startup problems caused high ESR or faulty
electrolytics.... probably on the primary side.
This would not normally be a real expensive repair at most shops as
long as you don't nurse this along until it quits altogether. It will
only get worse and cause more expensive damage if you wait to get it
fixed.
This is NOT a repair for the novice.....
At the very least you should TAKE it to a service shop for a repair
cost estimate so you can make an intelligent repair decision with facts
instead of internet or telephone wild guesses..... a tech will
actually have to open er up and make tests and observations with the
proper skill and test equipment. TAKE it to a shop.
