Hi all! I have an SE FDHD that I just did an analogeboard recap of, as well as reflowed the primary solder joints on the analog board. It has a new PicoPSU in it as well.
I just did a smoke test and did get a startup chime, but nothing on the display. Didn't see any smoke, but absolutely smelled a strong "burning electronics" smell. I'm letting it sit before discharging the CRT and inspecting, but not sure where to start with diagnostics.
The flyback looks to be a potential issue (glue is brown and cracked, some slight discoloration on the plastic near the top) would a bad flyback cause a burning electronics smell but no smoke?
Thanks for any assistance!
