Trinitron KV-36FS100: What did I do??

[zeno]

A few things to look at
Be sure you didnt crack the PCB at FBT.
Check that no harmonica connectors are crooked.
See if fillament is dimming with pix.
Check the G-2 & focus wires are not pulling out of FBT.

Odds are you stirred up a bad PC con moving things around.
Look especially under FBT & the CRT socket. You can find the
blink codes on the internet but IIRC they only come if the
set goes into shut down mode. Makes no sense !

good luck & keep us posted

Decided to revisit this set, and now it's doing something I have never seen before. When I power it on, degauss followed by a second of HV - with what appears to be bright ionizing inside the neck of the CRT! The TV tries three or four times to start, showing that ionizing for about one second each time. I unplugged it after the fourth try, as I didn't want to break anything! Photos to follow.
