It could be anything from what Yui Shin describes which shouldn't cost much
to fix, to the flyback transformer or another part of the high voltage
assembly who's parts are often so expensive that it may not be worth
repairing.  If the shipping costs make even a warranty repair prohibitive,
it might be time to check a local repair shop with free estimates.

Good luck,
