So, we got this game that was playing blind because the flyback was arcing all over the place. I did a flyback and caps and now I have no neck glow.
I've been troubleshooting that (tested VR, HOT, touched up a ton of joints) and found some possible bridging, so I made sure that was taken care of, which brings me to my question...
Tested the voltage at R103 and it was 0. tested it at the neckboard and it was 0. (this would be the heater voltage, can't remember the pins, but I had it right because you can't miss it). So I started checking continuity and found that the pin from the neckboard connector that supplies the heater voltage has continuity with the pin next to it. Also, on the chassis, those pins have continuity. After staring at it way too long, I realized that it's the flyback that is providing the continuity between those two pins.
Should there be continuity between those two pins on the flyback? I have a picture to indicate which two I'm talking about.
It's probably fine, but I'm just liiking to clarify. I haven't had a chance to plug it back in after a possible solder bridge cleanup, so this is a just in case that maybe the fly's bad.
Thanks!
