General question: If the horizontal output transistor (HOT) has all 3 leads shorted, or is shorted B to C, or is shorted B to E, or is shorted C to E--do any of these differences tell you where to look for the fault? I repair both TV's as well as computer monitors so this info would be helpful. Most HOT's tend to be dead shorts to all three pins, but sometimes they short only partially. Thankyou.
