i plugged everything back in and fired it up, all i had was a vertical line down the middle of the screen.
at first it ranged in color...then it got brighter and whiter? wtf?

Im lost...
 
its a g307 for centipede.


I guess i gotta pull it back out and wiggle some stuff and check my solder?
 
G07? Double check... God, I can't ever remember the number... C302 I think it was. The dot for polarity is printed wrong on the bottom of the chassis. Compare it to the drawing on the parts side to make sure you didn't put it in backwards.

If it was working before you did the kit, but has collapse after the kit... with most monitors you can say "Well, it's probably something you did wrong"... with a GO7... there's no telling. Shit on them fails left and right is seems after cap kits. But, since you do have vertical collapse... then the other two big failures are good. The flyback is still alive, as is the HOT... so... yay that.

Double check cracked joints, reflow the connectors for the yoke connector, and give everything a good twice over.
 
yeah

I put the new flyback on it, The kit from Bob Roberts gives a heads up on the improper label on that cap.

I'm guessing something else must need re-solderd...
I'm gonna really double check and clean up everything as soon as I can.

The Monitor was dead and had no tube glow, so at least I am moving forward.
 
Check your polarity of your caps and go over your solder joints again.
check the caps in the vert. section and check the caps over by the video inputs since their is a beam limiter area and maybe a cap is in wrong.
 
okay... well, I cleaned up the solder a little bit, and reflowed a few things.

sprayed the board with some cleaner and used a toothbrush to lightly clean off some of the grime.

Pluged it all back in and the fuse blew... maybe some of the cleaner hadnt dried?

I can understand why else it would pop the second time but not the first.... damn it..
I just wanna play my centipede game!

Now what?
