I've got a g07 in a jungle king cab. image never filled the screen so I did a width cap mod as suggested by Bob roberts. This was a while back and I recall that it helped but didn't get the image to fill the screen 100%. Based on what Bob says i wasn't sure how far I could go with the cap values and not cause issues. Talking with another KLOVer I was told I should be able to try a lower or higher value depending on what was needed and it should be safe. Pretty sure I had a .22uf 250 v mylar cap in there and the plan was to try a.1uf 250v cap and see if that made the image larger. In theory it should since moving from the larger original value down to the .22 increased the image size. Any how when I fired it up with the .1uf cap in there I saw a tiny flash on the chassis and the image on screen is now missing a couple inches off both the left and right sides of the screen. . I know the general area but not the specific component that the flash came from. I also smelled a light electrical burn but can see no obvious burn. I'm thinking I may have actually killed a cap although I'm not certain. The chassis has been recapped so if it was a cap it was a new one. Just looking for some insight. Could I have killed a cap? Or is there another more likely component that went bad?
