So I got this UMK3, plays blind.

I assume it was originally a Hantarex Polo 25" monitor.
It has a replacement chassis, a Bestech (haven't found the model number yet).

Right now, the chassis makes a clicking noise, and the monitor looks like a pixel moves from the bottom of the monitor to the center, over and over again.

I've got a video of it.

Does this just look like a HOT replacement? And I suppose the flyback as well while I'm at it? Does anyone have any experience with these Bestech chassis? I see Bob doesn't have a cap kit for it.

Would it be less painful to find a working Hantarex Polo 25" 15khz chassis? The remote board is still connected to the cabinet under the monitor, so that would work too.

So can anyone say what might be wrong with this chassis?
Just from seeing the video?

I suppose it'd be better to buy another generic chassis (like the wei-ya) as opposed to trying to fix this one, assuming I can't get a hold of a genuine polo chassis?
 
Alright.

I'll try to remove the monitor this weekend and test the HOT.

What else would cause the clicking noise?
