No, literally....
I just got done with my second cap kit in a couple days, seemed to go off without a hitch. But then....sizzle sizzle SMOKE!!!
I unplugged the power ASAP, took the chassis out and examined it, not s ingle burn mark or popped cap or anything noticeable on the flyback.
So I rechecked all the connections, put it back in and powered it back on. I had no game picture, a bunch of white lines and the brightness looked way too high.... then a small amount of smoke again, but again I couldnt see where it was coming from.
I pulled the power again, then as it was powering down I heard an arcing sound 3 times....
Did my flyback just take a crap and why would a cap kit cause that?
If not, any other suggestions for what's messed up?
This is a 25K7197 I believe. Black knobs on the flyback. Chassis looked like it never had a cap done before....
