So I did a recap for a friend and I also replaced a transistor( don't have the part number or pcb location on me at this time) that seemed to have a little to much head wear on the pcb. And I don't know exactly what made this happ kj-xx15 go out in the first place but I've checked the pcb over time and again and everything looks great and the multimeter is happy for continuity where it should be. For some reasons instantly when powered on the main line fuse blows. Also there is continuity from the two hots off of the isolation transformer (I am not sure if they are supposed to be continuitous or there may be a fault in the isolation transformer). The fuse does not blow unless the ac is tied into the monitor chassis so I am thinking it is something to do with the monitor. For the fuses I was using a 3 amp fast blow because there is no labeling on the fuse holder for a rating. Also it looked like there was originally a ground wire from the chassis to common ground but that was cut when I looked at it and he said it worked that way for years. There isn't much more I can think of at this time and if anybody can help me help my friend get his shinobi back up and running I would greatly, greatly appreciate it. I know that is a fairly vague description on what is going on but any hints, tips, tricks, anything that I might be able to check out or try would be appreciated. Thanks a million guys, Doc Hollywood
