Before attempting to do a cap kit the monitor was working. I took everything apart did the cap kit, while doing it I broke the c507 (resistor). I temp fixed it out it all back together. I forgot to clip the excess wire from the c107 on the yoke and it touched together, causing a spark on the board. I can't seam to get the flyback onto the monitor either. Is there a certain step? Sorry if I am not clear on what I need help with but basically the monitor will not turn on! Prior to my failure it was working. Any words of advice? Thanks guYs.
 
I'm betting that he can't get the pins to align on the board.

Some of them drop right in; others you have to tweak. Use a pair of needle nose pliers and nudge the pins where they have to go. SMALL NUDGES. If you slip, you're gonna break something. And, it doesn't take much to move things where they have to go. Might take you a little while, but your patience will be rewarded.
 
Okay guys sorry for the confusion but yes the big suction cup. I will try the needle nose technique. Is the any exact way it has to sit on there or am I just putting the two metal prongs into the monitor?


Update: I got the two prongs in tight I slid one side in and the used a small hook tool to push the other end in. It still does not power up. I'm sure that spark that I saw on the board from touching the c107 of the yoke together accidentally
Caused a malfunction somewhere. Any ideas?

That's the anode cup. The pliers technique is if you're replacing the flyback, which is the big plastic-housed component on the PCB which the anode cup is connected to. When I'm reconnecting an anode cup, DISCHARGE THE MONITOR FIRST. Then flip the cup backwards so it exposes the pins, and just hook those into the tube one at a time. Then adjust the cup so it's snug against the tube.

Check your fuses first. If either of them are blown, the monitor won't power up at all. Replacing them sucks way more than replacing fuses should, since they're soldered to the PCB.
 
I think I might just try to find a new chassis that's already capped. It's frustrating. I think I really messed something up. I also noticed a crack on the board. So Im sure me investing time into trying to fix this one will just be a waste. I appreciate your help though.
 
Looks like I damaged something pretty badly. I was taking the chassis back out and when I unplugged the yoke it let out a loud pop on the chassis and smoked a little. I discharged but obviously didn't do it properly. Thank god I didn't hurt myself. I think I will just order a new chassis and call it a day!
