So I've got a newly capped/flyback/hot/H width coil G07 and I was trying to adjust things a bit in order to get a clear picture. I never touched the adjustments from when I got it, where they supposedly were set right, but after the cap kit and everything it's just crazy scrolling pictures that look slanted horribly in one direction.
I had the monitor hooked up to a RGB modded sega genesis as it's the only working hardware I have that outputs RGB. Anyways as I'm adjusting the H.FREQ it makes a nice pop/sizzle sound, a very small puff of smoke somewhere in the vicinity of the base of the flyback and now nothing. Also looks like it blew the small fuse next to the big cap. Can adjusting the H.FREQ too far cause damage? I wasn't cranking it like crazy or anything, but it popped when I turned it further than before, which seemed to be helping the picture.
Course of action? Or any experience with this?
