Have a nt-3501 had some color blue issues
capkit from bob installed as always 1st thing I do
testing time fired up for 1 min then heard a pop transistor q402 stated smoking.
Checked all caps values and polarity 4 times and checked before install pics to make sure no bad silk screen issues with polarity etc. before firing it up.....
I was out of white grease used artic silver 5 thermal compound instead wouldn't think that would hurt.
sort of at odds .... working with color issue ... cap kit .. smoked transistor ... now dead.
going to recheck all caps etc.
Replace the q402 (BU4530AL) just don't want to fry another one lol.
Anyone have on hands knowledge with NT monitors this is my 1st and so far has not been a good one.
have done 200+ cap kits only 3rd I have had issues with guess good odds but still bothers me .
