Here's a fuse popping WGk7197 console that I made a poor attempt at fixing a few weeks back. This is from a 25" tube - looks like a 10 pin connector on the neckboard.

Full disclosure - I stupidly used thermal paste on the HOT before realizing my mistake. It worked for a while, but eventually popped the fly. The old, supposedly working fly is back on the console but it pops the fuse whenever I turn it on. Most of the caps have been replaced (not the cause of the problem), so that's a plus I suppose.

Anyway, somebody looking for a project should shoot me a PM. It will be free after shipping, I just want someone who can use this to have it.

Wow that was quick...

You were beat by a few min eldergodry, sorry!

Board goes to Oryk Zinyo, will be shipped monday.
 
As a side note, why would using thermal paste on the H.O.T. cause problems? IIRC every K7000 I have ever replaced the H.O.T. on had thermal compound on it.
 
as long as it didnt contain metal, AND you put a mica insulator back in.... no.


What likely happened is the fly went and took something else with it(c36, vreg, etc), you put the other fly back in but too little too late something else was damaged.
