Will check the flyback xformer, and rip it off the
board (OK, I'll desolder
it...) if it looks guilty. Probably will take the HOT, if I can identify it
unambiguously, as well. Then it's back to the parts-shopping game. Sigh.
The HOT is the power transistor next to the flyback. IIRC it's in a TO220
package.

Still curious about this. The scorch marks make me nervous - can or should
I try to heat-sink at least the resistor with the bad scorches around it?
