Yep, doesn't sound normal. I would never use the term "flash" when describing the blue-light action. If it had gone well, the blue lights would have slowly come up from dim to bright, over several seconds to several minutes. If they flashed, it suggests something arced over in the cathode-to-grid space. Catastrophically it sounds like. Oh, well, the Beltron can't fix everything. I'm very glad you tried, and thanks yoda for humoring us.
