So here's a long story about how I have another two Dead K7000's now.
I picked up a cab that was dead and they cut the cord off of it just to give me a story about how the cab still works but just needed to re-connect the power cord. Well I got it home and got it hooked up because I had another Dynamo HS1. Plugged it in and I got blue crackle in the neck where normally I would see some orange monitor glow. Scared I turned it off and decided to swap in the Chassis from my other HS1 K7000 monitor to see if it was something wrong on the monitor chassis. There's a bulging cap that's pulled away even on the "bad" monitor chassis I noticed.
Well the power molexes for the chassis were of different types so I desoldered the power cable (white and black) and swapped them to get the working (previously installed a Delux kit a few weaks earlier on the good chassis.) Got it in and oh man.... more blue crackle in the neck of the bad machine OH no...
I swapped everything back to the good working machine and now.... the previously "good" monitor is now dead and it doesn't come up or even glow... fuse good...
Any ideas on where I may start? I didn't measure any voltages on the monitor while on... I'm a little scared of poking around in there. I checked the power coming out of the isolation transformers on both machines... Both 120~
Thanks Guys... it's late and I'm fustrated. I hope I can get the chassis I capped for my TMNT back in that machine... at least one working K7000 when I should have at least two of these working...
