Replaced the HV diode in one of our monitors yesterday and I can't get the damn thing to stop "sizzling". I cleaned the connectors real good and put a dab of dielectric grease in them but for some reason the grease will sizzle. I figured it was a bad connection so I cleaned it again and made sure everything was just about perfect but after a minute or two... sizzle, sizzle, sizzle.
I'm thinking the boot on that side of the diode may be bad(maybe the spring inside the boot is not connected well to the wire?)... anybody ever cook grease before?
I'm trying to come up with options to replace the boot without having to scavenge parts from a spare monitor but I'm coming up blank here... any ideas?
TIA,
Jeff
