Just make sure that the power is off when you short the HT cap to ground, its quite a scary spark if you dont! lol
It could also just be a dry joint around the HT transformer, if it gets bounced in shipping, hairline cracks in the copper tracks around the same area can be an issue.

Re: CM8833-II Just died
Is there any high voltage noise from the horizontal output

Re: CM8833-II Just died
Yeah i already have an arc welder
It was working for a while then stopped. I actually collected this one in person so i think it wasnt a transportation issue.
I've not opened it. I am still needing to make or preferably buy a discharge tool.

Re: CM8833-II Just died
I have had to replace the flybacks on a variety of different monitors. I use a long screw driver with a lead attached to the shaft then insulated with heatshrink and electrical tape near the handle. Other lead end is a low ohm high watt resistor(arc reduction) and a alligator clip.
It is been a while since changing one in a 1084S, but if I remember correctly it is also worthwhile discharging the larger caps on the board with a resistor. I have had my fair share of heart shakers in my early years as a electrical / electronic technician, don't need a top-up.
As mentioned before, if the flyback is busted then the HOT will probably be near-on dead as well so changing both is good practice.
EDIT:
I always found tuning the screen and focus on the new flyback a more scary procedure then discharging the CRT, as the monitor is powered when tuning.

Re: CM8833-II Just died
Yeah i've had a few HV shocks over the years and my heart is fine.
I'd just like a premade tool rather than relying on my own handywork

Re: CM8833-II Just died
I built me a discharge tool and removed the Anode cap without any drama. Just waiting for the replacement to arrive.
I dont have a replacement HOT on order so i guess i'm doing the flyback first.
