Hi, a problem that keeps recurring for me (and uses up a lot of my spare time!) A ticking noise (OCProtecetion kicking in) BUT not in the high voltage area. After checking HOT, diodes, tuning cap, flyback etc the OCP is still there. I have disconnected diodes from the transformer to try to isolate the bad line. Also check switching transformer and components thereabouts. Is there a quick or helpful way that I can narrow these problems down a bit quicker (I have 2 that I cannot seem to solve!) NOTE THAT THESE ARE USUALLY DONE WITHOUT CIRCUIT DIAGRAMS ETC Any tips, other than the ones mentioned above will be greatly appreciated - these types of problems are common and some are easy enough but the type I have mentioned are a right pain!
