Got a freebie and monitor ticking. B+ test at tp202 7-10 vdc. Any help appreciated. No neck glow. Game plays blind.

I'm no expert but tp202 should be 117v.  Something gone in the power supply section.  :)

Many threads here on that symptom.  do a search of "ticking".

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice, but in practice.....there is!!

flyback? Again, by far not an expert, but just my guess.

I agree, lots of posts here about "ticking".

Have read every thread but not any I could find on low reading at tp202. Going to pull it and check on bench with a little more room.
Thanks

Generally speaking, something's shorted when you've got a ticking SMPS chassis.  Culprit is usually the vert IC or HOT but can be anything including the parts back in the power supply (output diodes, even the switch FET).  A common test is to isolate the power supply from the rest of the board and load it with a light bulb to test separately.
