THE COUNT
New member
I recently got an untested WG 25" k71957.I hooked it up to test it and it immediately blew the chassis fuse. I've done several flybacks and cap kits and fixed soldering issues on K7000s, but this is my first one to blow a fuse. I checked out the sticky in this forum and went through Randy's flowchart as best as I'm capable of. This is what I've done/tested:
-replaced flyback with a fairly new/working flyback (old one was cracked badly)
-replaced the HOT with a working one (old one tested good I gave it a shot anyway)
-removed C36, C38 and C69 to test, they tested good
-unpluged degaussing connector
-tried chassis with another compatible tube (just in case)
-verified it isn't a cab issue by hooking another monitor up to it (j/i/c)
No luck, still blowing the fuse. All I get is a quick attempt to power up and then it blows I have a cap kit for this chassis but I'm assuming that won't have anything to do with issue? What's my next step? Please be somewhat specific about testing procedures for anything you post, since this is the farthest I've ever had to dig into a monitor chassis.
