GEEZ! At least give it the ol' college try before ask'n! I believe the 187 had Hout and fly issues. You can BET that it has to be some high current item to cause the SMPS to squeal like a pig. Since V out power is scan derived-it ain't that. So that leaves H defl or sound. If I had to guess, I'd go the H out first-every time.
