Re: Got the V2000 HV blues...

If anyone thinks this is the stupidest thing I've said this year please keep
in mind the year isn't over yet. Those capacitors that were "previously
replaced"---are they installed correctly? It is possible to have a reversed
capacitor do what yours is doing.

If your monitor uses the (801 - Electrohome) HV doubler they do tend to
fail...or if not, the HV diode can become defective and start overheating -
drawing too much current leading to fuse failure. If you have a remote
temperature probe monitor the HV parts to see if any start to heat up, or
if the rubber end caps on the HV diode are black/melted then the diode may
be bad (or just old rubber from previous bad diode).

You can replace the doubler through:

Note that the 2CL2FM diodes are rated at 20KV and can replace the regular HV
diodes as well...
