RE: CRT TV: "POP", then nothing.

Actually CRTs do not "burst". Since they have a vacuum, CRTs implode (i.e. that is inward, not outward).

Fuses no not make much, if any noise, when they go. A load "pop" could be from an electrolytic capacitor exploding. Was there any odor after the pop?
From your questions, you might not be comfortable opening up the back of the set.
