I discharged my TV based on information I found on archives of this
mailing list and some over-the-phone advice from a friend. The only
difference was that I used a high-voltage probe instead of a resistor
(attached the ground to the ground braid and dsicharged from the metal
behind the suction cup).
I then did some looking around in the dark and my heater seems to be
malfunctioning... it doens't glow, it more sparks. The picture is really
light and fades away to black. It will occasionally come back but
usually fades again right away. So I looked along the little clear bulb
on the back of the crt and ther was a small block dot on one part that
looks like somethign underneith it had burned. The dot was about a cm in
diameter.. maybe 2, but it was very small. Does this mean the heater is
blown? If not is it a part I can buy and replace easily?
Thanks.
