It made a popping sound, the screen turned green, then shut off. Now when I turn it on, I get loud static sound for a few seconds then it shuts off. What is the most likely problem?
You almost certainly have a bad picture tube. The green screen was from one of the elements inside shorting out. The static sound you're hearing is the high voltage arcing out through the end of the picture tube to other parts inside the set. It's more economical to buy a new TV than to repair this one.
Sorry to have such good news, but this is one of the ways a picture tube can go bad, and it happens quite often.
