Thanks: Gave 9, Got 55 | Is my TV dead?
Whilst moving my CRT to decorate the room I dropped it  and heard a huge release of air. On inspection I found that the glass connection that the circuit board connects to on the tube had shattered.
Stupidly I plugged it in to see if was still working and a huge white flash shot out the back of it. 
The model is a 32PW6518/05.
Sorry for the basic explanation but its the first time I've looked inside a tv.
Can this be fixed cheaply?

Replacing the tube will be very expensive so a new TV will be the order of the day. Shouldn't be a problem if you have accidental damage cover.

TBH if it is dead the money is going towards a PD9700 42" Hitachi plasma.
