K7000 new cap kit & flyback - now blowing fuses
First I want to thank all the contributors to this board. After installing a new flyback and cap kit on my wg k7000 I blew a fuse right away on the first startup. Some searching around revealed similar problems could be attributed to a lack of the insulator between the HOT and the chassis. I had used some arctic silver since the old one was just held on by thermal compound but after swapping it out for some rubber wire jacket I'm back in business.
The cap kit/flyback took care of most of my issues. Vertical waves are gone and the colors are popping. However, I still have a faint 'snow' in the background. They are faint diagonal lines that blow across the screen at varying speeds sort of like drifting snow in a storm. It's the sort of thing I can live with if I have to, but maybe there's something else I can do to address this?
