Okay, so I was having trouble locking the rolling picture down on my wg25k7193. I have two of these and noticed the remote had a crack on the h-pos nob, so I turned my machine off, and pulled the remote off of the non-working one, popped it onto the good monitor, flipped the machine on, and what happened next was not good. Black and white picture with white lines rolling on the screen, then a loud garbly noise from the monitor. I knew that was not a good news so I bent down to power off, and before I could the monitor went blank. I turned the machine off, and replaced the remote back to the old one, fired it up, and nothing. What in the world happened??
 
Did both remotes have the same number on them (P802)?

I had one do this, and it blew the HOT...
 
No sparks, just zig zag lines across the screen then nothing. Im really hoping this would be an easy fix...but I can be overly optimistic sometimes. How did you fix yours mod?

Pulled the chassis out, threw it on the bench, then checked the HOT to find it bad. Replaced it and everything was fine...
 
Im still tiptoe-ing around monitors, would a hot cause complete loss of everything to the monitor? I see no light in the neck or anything.
 
Yes. But there are a lot of things that can cause a completely dead monitor (no neck glow, no pic):

1) bad cap
2) bad HOT
3) bad flyback
4) open resistor
5) shorted resistor
6) blown diode
7) cold solder
8) bad power connector
9) blown fuse
10) shorted transistor
11) open transistor
12) bad voltage regulator
13) bad heater circuit in tube

etc.

Get the idea? You'll have to do some troubleshooting to see what your problem is, just start shotgunning parts (throwing new ones in and hoping it fixes it), or send it to someone (and pay them) to fix it for you....
