I was working on a older 19" K7000 last night (model with white knobs on flyback, 1986), just capped it, cleaned it, had everything looking awesome, dropped it in a cab and its got that tinted glass crap, so i decided to turn up the screen voltage just a teeny tiny bit to get the brightness to pop that extra bit. Plugged it in and Zzzeerrppppp! No more pretty monitor. I'm done with tinted glass btw.
So I've been trying to think where I went wrong here, my guess is that last touch of the screen voltage pot put it over the threshold of life it had left? Do HOTs get weaker over time? Luckily I had already ordered a batch last week that should be here soon.
