CRT screen flickering

Hello,
I'm reaching out to you because for the past few days I've had a problem with the cathode ray TV that I use to play with my Xbox.
Let me explain, after a certain amount of time using it, the screen starts flickering (alternating between image/black screen) and it gets faster and faster, until the screen goes completely dark. But if I turn it back on after 30 seconds of rest, it works normally again but then starts flickering again, and so on...
I don't think it's an issue with the Xbox, as I don't have any problems with another TV. However, I only have this problem on the Xbox channel; when I change the channel, for example to channel 1, there is only static and the channel number, but there's no flickering.
Where could the problem be coming from? How can I fix it?
Thank you for your help
PS:
By the way, a capacitor does emit a whistling sound while it charges, and it stops briefly during discharge, then starts whistling again during charging, etc... but what does it mean if it continuously whistles?

Hello,
a capacitor that's leaking is going to swell and burst soon...
as for the screen, maybe the scart solder joints have "failed" over time, plugging and unplugging... it happens. -
Thank you for your response,
I might stop fiddling with this condo since it's a 400V for electric fences.
For the TV, if it's indeed what you're referring to, that means when the solder heats up, it causes a loose connection.
However, I tried with the plug (yellow, white, red) and using a SCART adapter, so on two different channels, and the problem is the same. -
