The chirping comes from the switching power supply trying to start up
into a short circuit but failing and going into protection repeatedly.
The most likely cause of a dead short across the powersupply output is
a shorted HOT. Then we have to uncover why the HOT shorted out. Is the
horizontal drive okay or was it a powerline glitch? Etc...
If you have no idea what I'm talking about then have it seen by a pro.
