First HOT was shorted but flyback rings good. Replaced many vertical caps and C871, a 22uF cap in the P/S. The cap in the P/S had high ESR. My question is, could this cap have caused the first HOT to short? I pulled all three boards so have no way to test it, except in the home. Has anyone had experience with this model, or might someone have a print?
