Ok...
Couple questions.
Is that a component that you would recommend a monitor n00b replace?
How do I track down which flyback is the right flyback for me?
The machine is off now.
mgb:
Ticking is definitely a sign of a blown flyback.
Replacing a flyback isn't super hard but it does call for discharging the monitor (some noobs don't like doing that) and most time when the flyback blows, it also takes out the Horizontal Output Transistor.
some places to check for flybacks would be Bob Roberts or Arcade Cup.
You can even send the monitor chassis board to arcade cup and have it fixed.
Its definitely worth it to get fixed because 25" monitors are getting very difficult to find.
Do you know what monitor it is? I'm guessing maybe a u5000?
boardjunkie:
Its just a k7000 series monitor. F-backs are easily obtained for those....not that expensive either.
As far as the horiz output, don't worry about that. The monitor was still running, so that is not even an issue here.
The only thing I can say about replacing the part is, if you're not fairly skilled with a soldering iron and haven't had to desolder things from a pc board, you may want to have someone do it for you. The traces are a little fragile on those 7000 boards and easy to tear up if not done correctly.
