hi, my t.v. set had a problem with convergence to begin with. basically i figured out the blue color tube or whatever needs replaced which costs an arm and a leg... so i used it mostly on my comp; however earlier when i was watching t.v., the screen suddenly started having like small black lines go everywhere and there was a crazy crackling noise... like electricity =( and so i turned it off fast and turned it backl on and it did it again soon as i hit it on, so then i looked at the cord i thoughtmaybe some mouse bit it or something haha... nothing =( so is it broke now for good?? thanks for help

I'm wondering how that might be the cause.
insulation breakdown. Yes, unless you repair it again. The good thing about arcing is you need nothing more than a tube of glue to fix it. The downside is you have to be very thorough in removing all damaged material.

Don't forget to unplug it and follow all the relevant safety procedures for working on a TV, either. We don't want you getting barbecued. If you don't make sure that sucker's discharged, you will likely get injured. I say this because I was fool enough to inspect a PC power supply without removing the power first, and despite being very cautious I touched a heatsink in there by accident and my arm twitched on and off for the next three minutes.
Basically, don't be stupid like I was! :)
