K7000 Cap Kit: I'm Not Very Smart (or Did I Fry It)
I was having VR issues (according to Mr. Fromm's flowchart) so I replaced IC4 as well as the flyback (there was somewhat of a prehistoric one on there), did a cap kit, and replaced the HOT (Came with the flyback repair kit). Well, I didn't realize the need for the mica insulators (this would be my first time replacing these things) and left them off. I turned on my game after reinstalling the monitor, heard a small pop, and smelled a little burning something.
So, what are the chances I killed either IC4 or the HOT?
Also, would a real electronics shop (i.e., not Radio Shack) carry those insulators or an equivalent product?
