yep, Polo in the showcase went out today, ironically when I was just telling all of KLOV about how I cap all the monitors on new games we get. 
so I capped it, but observed a crack all along the side of the flyback (first time I've seen one physically damaged). am I in for a flyback AND the HOT? I don't have tools available where I'm at now to desolder the HOT to test it.
additionally, I have another 25" Polo that crapped out like 2 months ago, it lights up the fuse on the chassis when it's got power, and for some bizarre reason the fuse meters out good still. I don't think that one clicks though, but I didn't have it in a quiet setting either. I'm inclined to believe that caps/flyback/HOT can resolve that, but what else can fail in the power supply section that would make the fuse glow orange?
