Worst thing that's ever happened after powering up a game
I don't have a ton of experience with game repair, but I've successfully fixed a handful of monitors and power supplies now. Out of an abundance of caution — or maybe just paranoia — whenever I power a game on after having worked on it, I make sure to have a fire extinguisher handy. So far, I haven't needed it. The worst thing that happened to me was a WG6100 deflection that started smoking when I turned it on.
But it got me thinking about what could happen. What's the worst that's happened when you powered something up?
