I sent your question to our resident monitor repair guy Michael and here’s what he said:

Most likely he touched the G2 wire (focus) and probably shorted out the HV section. It may have just blew a fuse depending on the chassis. Tell him to check the main fuse, and if that is blown check the HOT. If the HOT checks bad, just replace it and the fuse. If the HOT is good then he may get by with just a new fuse. If the fuse checks good, then the HOT could still be bad with a small ohm resister open off the collector of the transistor. In that case, the resistor and the HOT will need to be replaced. That may be hard for him, depending on his experience because he will have to know the value of the resistor and the watt rating. Hope this helps.

Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.

Did I blow a fuse or trip a reset? Any quick fix to bring the power back to the tube or is it shot now? Everything else is still working but no picture at all now. Need some help here.

Thanks,
Mark
