k7000 25"-with video input pcb gets a trace fried?
I have a buddy of mine dropping off a 25" k7000 monitor for me to take a look at.
He recapped it, and installed a new flyback.
Initially he powered it up with no signal input and the monitor appeared to have a screen and be working. After that he said he plugged in the video signal and there was a puff of smoke (or something to that effect), and it burnt up a trace on his arcadeSD pcb.
I don't think I've ever heard of this happening, but I thought I'd ask if anyone else has ever experienced this. I'll likely test it with my TPG before I do anything else.
oh yeah, apparently the main chassis fuse blew as well.
I'll report back when I know more. I just thought I'd start the thread in case anyone cared to comment.
