Ok, so first of all, I resoldered the cracked joints I found, and now I have no picture at all. The CRT still lights up for a split second when turning it on or off, so it doesn't seem to be a CRT problem, but it just keeps a black screen and tapping on the board makes no difference now.
I'll try that cap, see if it makes any difference, but is it more likely that the chip is just dead?
Honestly, if this gets too involved I think I may just take it in to a repair shop... I really don't know what I'm doing around small components like that, nor am I really properly equipped for working on things this small...
