So there I am, adjusting the D9200s in our Rush 2049s. Lacking a mirror, I've taken to using the shiny surface of my cellphone to reflect the screen back to me. Unfortunately, this requires an awkward stance that prevents me from seeing my hand as I adjust the pot. Well, I touched something that zapped my hand pretty good, and it was enough to make the monitor shut down too.

What gets me though, is I was fumbling for the focus pot, a good inch or two away from the main board. Is there something that's supposed to be exposed on the flyback that carries HV? Or is this a warning sign of a borderline flyback? Is there a better way to do these adjustments, that don't involve removing the whole monitor from the machine?

So the problems with these two now are:

#1 - This is the one that bit me. Brightness and Contrast are up all the way (255), but it's still a tad dark. Turn screen up, right? But I'm afraid of that flyback now, I think it might be leaking somewhere. Slightly out of focus too.

#2 - Had a big red bias but I adjusted it out. Screen is tilted a few degrees to the left, and the tilt adjustment pot does nothing. Waiting on vertical adjustments until I figure out the tilt.
