Hi Tony,
....And the most likely cause of that is a shorted
flyback
transformer....
....Seen it dozens of times....
Thanks, it's what I feared....I was kind of hoping it would be something
else.
Pull the case and look at the flyback transformer....
....Most likely it'll be visibly cracked!
The unit is currently at the bottom of a (large) pile of pending projects,
I've gotta pull some stuff from that pile this week so I'll drag it out and
take a look.
I've got several other 320/330/340's so it's not exactly a top priority
IYKWIM?
TTFN - Pete.
