What's inside a CRT, makes cracking noises and goes off with a huge "BANG!"?, Part 2

Hello again,

As some of you pointed out a possible bad cap, you were right. Found this f***** on the power supply board.

So my theory is :

Power instability due to faulty cap. Power instability causing warped image. It gave up with a bang, no power.

Go to say tho, the noise was a bit dramatic for such a little cap

First time posting, hello everyone!

For my first post, I'm offering this question.

Sadly, I don't have the answer yet but I suspect the flyback transformer departed from this earth to trinitron heaven...

I've left it discharge over a few days and will open it up tomorrow. Suggestion and ideas are welcome!
