Too Much High Voltage, Flyback Problem? -'92 Samsung

[Popester]

I remember on early ‘80’s Sony set they had a high voltage shutdown circuit that turn off the set usually caused by the HV resistor in the red epoxy pack causing internally arcing.

Good old H-stat control. Did many. For test you can pull off the thin red wire.
Many ran hours without diing or arcing.
