Yeah, I've already tried that. It didn't fix the problem. Also, it should
be noted that Radio Shack's parts area has shrunk to something useless in
most cases.
Got any other suggestions? I have no idea what it could be. I've replaced
the flyback/choke, the PSU, and repaired the analog board. Only things left
are the logic board and the CRT. Maybe I should pull the analog board and
resolder it? I've got no clue.
Though I do have to say, the cap that went on the analog board, it was
pretty badly exploded, and the diode was brown. They both left some light
burnmarks on the board.

Does the varient matter. IIRC, they're equivalent factory
replacements.
I've got a couple of video boards. I fix the failed ones myself.
The biggest failure is the cap and diode at the center of the
video board (don't remember if that's the Elston or the
Ball), $2.00 in Radio Shack some solder and it's fixed.

I need to
get my VT100 working again.
What's the Elston variant?
