There isn't much in front of this fuse to go wrong. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk |

I am going to pull the monitor on my centipede so I can get a clear picture of what is going on. I can't do it until at least tomorrow though. |

First - unplug the PCB - until you find the short - don't have it plugged in at all. I'd be inclined to put a fuse in with nothing connected to the power brick and make sure it doesn't blow. Then add the ARII and see if it blows.. (w/o the PCB) The CRT comes off that too - did you do it with the CRT plugged in? Because that would make a lot of sense.. do it w/o the CRT.. If it doesn't blow.. then add the PCB (no crt) If I were staring at it myself.. I'd poke all the way through it with the meter looking for the short.. But at a high level.. it would make sense if it blew with the CRT plugged in based on the pad voltage regulator. Curious to know what you find |

Fuses can get quite expensive if your just going to throw them in the trash, Wiring in a 7 amp circut breaker while testing is a good alternative (Around 12.00 I believe) ...And like b/perkin says, break it down to basic string and protect the board, only hook that up when everything checks out...More than likely your problem is that chassis, more specifically the flyback, and as consequence regulator and transistor...But what does Jenn know🙄 |
