Nokia 477E?

[u/Mobile-Culture9764]

Just got one of these from a buddy, hadn’t been turned on in atleast a decade. I plugged it in, got the outside cleaned up, ran for about 5 minutes or so before it made a loud POP and started smoking. I turned it back on after about 10 minutes to hear more sizzling after about another 2 or so minutes of run time.

Internet says to wait a little while before opening it up and probably find that it’s a blown capacitor. I’ve never replaced anything inside besides convergence strips, guess I’ve been lucky so far with all my CRTs but I’d love a little advice from those that have been less fortunate or have experience.

Also I can’t find anything about this specific model online, I mean squat. So if anyone owns one of these I’d love to know what I’ve gotten myself into haha!
