the t.v. worked fine for at least a year... it was given to me by a friend so it was not new... the brand is an NEC and is at least a 27 inch screen... one morning i woke up and was going to watch the news... (it was working fine the night before)... then when i turned it on it made a hideous buzzing noise that sounds like 100 bees... there is just a white spot for the picture which is the size of the palm of my hand, and in that area there is a snow screen... sounds and channels work fine... i have no idea what’s wrong... please answer only if you know what you are talking about (that means no answers saying "ummm time for a new t.v.)

the white fuzzy spot is not focused and looks similiar to an icecream cone if i remeber correctly... the "ice cream" if you will is the snowy part and then as it fades down into the point it is more of a mixture of pixel colors

Trying to match your description with several thousand faults that I have fixed over 45 years is still not easy without being able to see and hear your tv, how ever here is my best shot after thinking carefully,, There is a focus control on the flyback or eht transformer that has started to arc internally , alternatively the CRT neck board is arcing where the focus lead connects, there is a spark gap on the neck board that is meant to arc over in the event of the focus volts being too high ( from the faulty focus control ) . Of course you will still have to get a Tv tech to look at it, it should be an average run of the mill repair . Wait and see if Jimbob or acerepair have any thing further to add . Good luck !

Is the snow in the white spot clear and focused? Is the white spot a clearly defined shape? Could be a shorted yoke also, which wouldn't be economically feasible to repair.
