No power all of a sudden

I have a Hitachi Ultravision TV that lost all power tonight not long after turning it on. It made a loud noise through the speakers before it went black. It then starting clicking, and the red power light starts blinking in time to the clicking coming from the back of the set. I have had the convergence problems with this set and fixed it (with the help of a friend who solders electronics), and it has worked flawlessly for about 2 years since doing it. I did smell an electrical smell after it happened, so I'm guessing something burned up. Any help on this? Great timing, but the way. The washer just started leaking, too.
