ok thanks
well i came up with this diode weather or not its true but i found that this diode is supposed to be a 200 volt 1 amp. problem is the sub diode i put in had a 400v 3amp 150ns rating but it left me with a intermittent dark line on the lower left screen. so i changed the diode to a 200v 3amp 35ns diode and the dark line is 95% gone but shows up very small from time to time. so if infact the right diode that goes in has to be a 200v 1amp thats ok but i am wondering what the recovery time is in, ns . the diode that had came out had blue lettering and i had researched it but never found a thing on it so there may be special characteristics to this diode even though its not marked with an X to indicate anything special. if memory serves when this diode first went bad i think i tried a 600v 1amp general purpose diode and it burned , maybe the recovery time was not consistent with what the set needs.
