Its amazing though that one misinstalled electrolytic cap would cause that many issues.

The sounds you described are not a guarantee (and may not even be an indication) of working horizontal. To check....
If you have a working or non-working CFL that the glass is not busted on take that and place the glass against the H output top plate lead as well as next to flyback doughnut and see if it lights from the RF energy a working HV system produces... If it lights hold a well insulated screwdriver next to the HV connection metal contact with the set on and see if you can draw an arc. If it has over 1/4" arc your HV is present.

Once you confirm HV is present we can talk about making the screen light...
