wells gardner 25K7191 flyback caught fire
My 25" monitor in my Neo Geo wasn't firing up so I pulled it out to take a look at the chassis. It's a wells gardner 25k7191, the fuse was blown so I used a flow chart to figure out what was wrong. I checked diodes d19-d22 and d19 was open so I replaced it, when I plugged in the monitor I could hear it fire up but then saw a glow from the back of the monitor. I unplugged it right away, the glow was the flyback caught fire on the top, I assume there was a pin hole there. Obviously I have to change that but should I be worried that somehthing else could have been damaged now? Why would the flyback catch on fire? Has anyone else had this happen to them?
