Yes, you will find hot glue under that coil. Take the coil out and
clean carp (to get around the naughty filter) off and clear glue out
of the tiny hole in the PCB. Reinstall as usual.

This is also how this bad joint on coil of horizontal drive circuit
blows the HOT for 19, 20, 25 and 27" sizes of this CTC203 chassis.
Very occasionally I see one in ATC113. For other size 32" and 36" if
the solder is good on coil and no glue, 90% of time is fly killed the
HOT.

To confirm the power supply is survivor, unsolder collector of the
shorted HOT and plug into isolated power. If voltage comes up and TV
responds then you're safe. But usually the power supply "scream" if
HOT is shorted, LOUDLY, my coworker can hear that 15 feet away.
Otherwise, 3 transistors more and a resistor, maybe a fuse all in
power supply area.

Cheers, Wizard
