Good point on the fuse itself. Thought perhaps that the fuse blowing might have caused other parts of the TV to react hence the noise? I didn't smell anything, but it sits in an alcove built into the wall, so any odor would have likely stayed in that area for the most part.
I'm fine opening the set and checking for a burnt out part. If it's a cap I'll pull and replace. I can't imagine spending any money at a repair shop however on this age of a set.
It makes me wonder why after "only" 12 years it blew in the first place. Something else downstream causing the problem? Whatever it is directly affected the power making me think it might be a simpler fix.
Now, gotta get somebody to help me pull a 185# TV to the floor. :)
