WG 1901?, HV Shutdown
« on: September 17, 2014, 09:16:45 am »
Working on a monitor I think is a WG. Printed on board is MTG-2901 MA REV-01 and WG 1901.

When I turn power on I hear HV come on but It immediately fades out or shuts down. Result is no picture and no HV.

I did replace the HOT but result is the same.

Where else should I start to look for this problem?  Help and advice greatly appreciated!

Is it possible to say which components might be causing this problem?
If I could narrow it down, I could start testing or replacing stuff.
