Help! Did I just toast a brand new monitor?!!!

[markymarky99]

HI, I installed a brand new VISION PRO 1949-1329-VP2" shelf mount monitor from happ controls (49-1329-VP2) .  All was fine for about 20 minutes, then I noticed a smell in the air.  Suddenly, I lost my picture.  I looked in the back and what i found was a black ground wire lodged up against what looks to be a heat sync or something.  This had melted the plastic wire coating and made contact.  After removing the wire from it's resting place,  I tried to fire up the monitor, it briefly fires up and then immediately shuts down.  Because I had to remove the monitor from it's original frame, the warranty is no longer in effect.  How do I fix this problem or is this entire chassis now toast?  UHG,, thanks for your input.  I'VE INCLUDED A PIC OF WHERE THE PROBLEM IS.

It's possible that you may have fried the component attached to that heat sink. You may have cooked the horizontal output transistor and/or the B+ power supply regulator transistor.

Hi Ken,, thanks, is this repairable or do I have to spend 92.00 from Happ for a new
chassis ?

Aw man, that sucks...but it's most likely repairable

Should be repairable.
