Help with a noise problem????????

[joey28]

I have a Toshiba projection and I have pointed out the noise coming from a resistor on t he ballast board but was wondering if i can just replace the resistor. The resistor makes a sparking noise and I was wondering what would cause the resistor to spark?

Poss short circuit but you also need to check!
In which stage of TV is this resistor?
Can you read the value of this resistor and what Wattage is it?
Also check for dry joints on that board.
