Hello, I recently performed an unsuccessful recap on the analog board, when I powered on RL54 started to smoke so I turned everything off. Recently I re-checked ESR on all caps, triple checked polarity, replaced the 30 ohm 4w resistor on RL54 (there is some confusion here as the fried resistor I pulled was 30 ohm but I see multiple sites indicate a 330 ohm resistor is used there). Reflowed a few joints, reinstalled board, winced, then powered on. It didn’t fry the resistor this time. But now my horizontal centering pot doesn’t seem to have an effect/change on the horizontal positioning on the screen. Bad pot? Or bad something else within that circuit?
