Title: So my Red Tent monitor tried to set my place on fire... Post by: ChanceKJ on September 21, 2015, 06:34:53 pm Now that i have your attention... :D
I was taking an initial look at a Sharp monitor i pulled out of a red tent the other day, and when i plugged it in (with an isolation transformer that usually powers a 20EZ in a working game) the area under the yoke started to spark and smoke. Any ideas? (https://farm1.staticflickr.com/725/21295889149_00630fe3dc_c.jpg) (https://flic.kr/p/yrQZUz) Title: Re: So my Red Tent monitor tried to set my place on fire... Post by: iankellogg on September 22, 2015, 08:21:53 am Consider checking the resistance of the yoke coils and comparing that to one of your working monitors. even after that without a proper insulation tester you might be SOL for checking this but I am wondering if the yoke coil is damaged and when you turn the monitor on its arcing over. There is still very much high voltage going through the coil.
