Wells K7171: what happens when you don't replace white knob flyback (oops)
this was awesome.
observe the awesome hole where the C36 is. I tried scraping the char marks off and wound up poking straight through the board through the other side.
so aside from the flyback being trashed (no oozing or cracks that I've noticed), the HOT being fried, the C36 having char marks underneath it and the IC4 being nuked, am I supposed to jumper those traces for the C36 cap that are like non-existent now with diode wire in addition to doing that mod that's on Bob's page?
and is there anything else I should test for or should I wait until I see what happens when I get the parts in?
also, is what happened here what normally happens when people oblivious to burning smells and blank screens allow this to happen for over 30 minutes? ironically I was across the way replacing my first flyback on a K7500 while this was happening. I should go to Vegas with those kinds of odds.
oh yeah, I should be the spokesperson for the "Save the K7000s" foundation. raised awareness for white knob flyback replacements, you see.
