If the screen cap on the CRT board is okay, pull the CRT board and measure screen voltage while rotating the screen control. Should run 120~600 volts. If it does, then you have a bad CRT. I have run into this a few times. You can blow the short with a crt checker. Is the replacement fly the same part number? If not, double check with another source to be sure of the correct part.

I will be looking at it later today or tomorrow. The set has very dark picture, shuts down, (No blink code, green pwr. light remains steady) has intermittent tuner snow, FBT screen adjustment does absolutely nothing. He has replaced RGB amp IC7330, the tuner, and the FBT. Would a faulty EEPROM do that? TIA Thanx, Scott Beebe Ohm Electronics Inc. 609 W.
