Title: Wells Gardner 7900 chassis board arcing.
Post by: oldmumak on November 22, 2010, 11:38:31 pm: I have a WG980673 monitor that arcs(see video) as soon as I turn it on. Can someone tell me what is happening and what I can do to try and fix it?

Post by: oldmumak on November 23, 2010, 05:54:14 pm: Is the flyback specific for the model#? Were is the cheapest place to get one? Any help for a newbie would really be appreciated.

Post by: lilshawn on November 23, 2010, 09:40:43 pm: they develop cracks and leak/arc high voltage

where you from? perhaps there is a local place you can get one. else you can order one online. Is there a label on the actual flyback? like 053X0528-001??? you'll need the actual number as often they changed parts between runs. i have a bunch of these u2000 /k7000 series chassis and ALL the flybacks are cracked. it's common.
