When I got this monitor (in an Asteroids DLX cabaret), no HV was present. I solved that problem by reseating the HV diode, and monitor has been fine since.

Ran the cab for about 7 hours yesterday, and same problem occured. Spot killer off, game playing blind. So I decided to again reseat the HV diode. Only this time, fool that I am, I managed to put the HV Diode in back to front. Blew fuses F100 & F101 on power up.

So .... What's the worst damage I might have caused? I think the diode is fried (if it wasn't already) as diode test indicates that it's now open ...

So I can try to find a replacement HV diode, fit it (the right way round ...), and replace the blown fuses. But is it worth ordering up other parts that I might also have ruined? Monitor ran really well before I did this.
