Help with an imploded monitor

Now that that title's caught your attention, does anyone know what I might do about my 27" CRT's overscan issue?

That's a video of the problem. It's always done this as far as I know, and other users report similar problems online. They say there is a leaking capacitor on the motherboard of the TV, so I'm thinking replacing that might be a good idea. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Yea, looks to me like a leaky capacitor. Just look for any that are buldging, or any that are leaking an oily substance. Replace them with new caps.

Yet, be warned. Working on a crt tv like that IS dangerous. Theres a lot of current still running through the TV even if its unplugged.

Oh yes, I've been inside CRT's, and while I didn't suffer the consequences of carelessness my poor walkman did years ago.

can't you get rid of the remaining current by turning the TV on when it's unplugged?

I say unplugging it while it's turned on.

My friend got that exact same TV. His friend found the TV on a curb in Toronto. Has the exact same problem as you do. I might go fix it for him now....when I get the courage to go open it up.

It's such a good TV besides this one issue, I hope it's fixable.
