Area 51 Maximum Force repair

That's exactly it.... the backboard. What fried is the white plastic circular doohicky that plugs the backboard onto the pins on the back of the monitor. Do u think this can just be replaced ( what's it called?), or could this possibly signify a larger problem. I have read that the monitors themselves hardly ever go and it's almost always the chassis. I did order a new chassis and attempted the repAir myself only to find out that all the connections were different on the replacement t chassis. So I spliced and diced my best. The monitor at least lit up after the replacement was in b u t I could actually feel the static coming Rom the monitor.... and then, there was what can only be described as a small electrical explosion complete with mini mushroom cloud... and that was the last time I attempted anything.

hmm scary,so what was the original monitor chassis make/model and what did you replace it with?
obviously you checked first that the chassis were compatible in regards to voltage and yoke inductance,not forgetting heater current
