I wonder if anyone can help me with some info:
I bought this monitor off of a guy, who claimed he got it new, put it in his game, worked fine for a long while, then one day (his words) just popped and no longer worked.
I gave him $40 for it, figured I could get a replacement chassis if nothing else.
The chassis looks clean, except - at the base of the flyback and ferrite core, there a tiny bit of dark discoloration (like speckles), but so slight, not even sure it's an issue. Doesn't appear like the flyback popped. Can't see a crack, but I just don't know.
Is this one of the newer replacement monitors that was just cheap junk to begin with? Should I try replacing flyback, HOT, and caps, or are the flybacks even available? If not, does anyone have a working chassis for this thing?
I've recapped and replaced flybacks on G07, 4600, 6100, Sanyo EZ, and the old b&w stuff, but not familiar with this one.
Thanks in advance!
Joey
