CRT TV: "POP", then nothing.

We have a 35" Sony CRT that just made a sound that would make me think of what a picture tube would if it were to burst. Definitely louder than a turn on/off sound. But there's nothing at all. No power light, sound, nada. Swapped outlets with the cable box, nope.
Is there a fuse inside most CRT's? Usually easy to access? This old (12 years?) beast weighs as much as I do (well, about what I would if I lost 5-10# :)), so I'd prefer to swap a fuse at home myself if there's such a thing. Ideas? Power supply? Not sure how far I want to go on a 12 year old TV! Amazing that I paid ~$1600 for this, and now one can buy a nice slim, better picture for much less, not that I want to, it's just our bedroom TV, but if forced....
That said I also have 2 @ 27" TV's, one was my main TV (as was this 35" a few years back) about 20 years ago. Still running strong every day in our sunroom (Hitachi)! The RCA is around 12-15 years old in another room, still OK, not used as often though. Amazing durability these things. Until now I guess. :)
