Should the pins of a new flyback be "hot" when installing it??
I was putting a new flyback (MRCFT 249) in a Neotec NT-2701 and while soldering one of the pins my right hand (holding the solder) touched the metal frame as the iron was on the pin and there was a small shock/zap at the tip of the iron and the current came up through the solder and got me. Thankfully it did not hurt my Hakko, but now when I plug the monitor in I get the start up static but no neck glow. Did this zap short the flyback? And why would it zap in the first place.
I have done at least 20 fly replacements in various monitors and never had this happen..
Any thoughts?
Thanx.
