Hey Guys,
Here's the deal. I purchased a couple 6100s off the bay a while back while the getting was good. One had a tube, the other was just a board set. Recently found a space duel so I thought I would begin repairing and rebuilding the one with the tube. Did all the major rebuild repair stuff. Bobs regular & deluxe cap kit, new flyback, and an lv2000 kit. But when I began reassembly, I forgot about the plug that goes from the HV board, to the B+/25volt plug of the neck board, to the 4 pin deflector board plug. A stupid mistake I know. But hey, I have seen boards with with unused plugs before, and honestly, I don't think this monitor had it to start with. Or if it did, I have misplaced it somewhere while I rebuilt the boards. So when I powered up, I had the lv2000 leds on and the spot killer would go off after about a second. I kept trying to figure out why I had no picture. After about 4 or so power ups, the spot killer stayed on. At first, I thought I had no HV since I had replaced the flyback and thought I had done something wrong. After I figured out that a major plug/wiring harness was missing, I got one off the spare chassis and powered up. Now I get the very bright spot in the center of the screen. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I have screwed up. I think I am halfway there, I have HV and I had the chatter that goes with the vectors. Or at least I had it before the spot killer led started staying on. I have pretty good skills at monitor repair, but I haven't messed with a 6100 in a year or two and I am admittedly rusty. Any help would be appreciated.
