Sadly I've got a dead G3 (no display and only the green button) there isn't any high voltage to the FBT noise or degauss and chime etc

I've sadly replaced all the caps and it still doesn't work.

I'm trying to leave the FBT as the last resort so I'm now trying to find the horizontal output transistor - where would this be?

FYI I've removed the larger cap at C905 for viewing around the board.

Another other advice is appreciated.

No power up on the G3 except a green light and light crackle noise from the FBT.

Decided to open it up to see if there was anything obvious and saw what looks to be a bulged cap.

However I've seen some conflicting advice that there's a plastic cover and the cap underneath is flat and fine.

Multimeter reading is still 470uf.
