fdt-5bx5 Violently Exploding Capacitor

[old_tv_nut]

1) Ok, diodes and caps are checked.

2) No difference between horizontal size and horizontal width in English. That's why I think the purpose of the transistor Q380 is a bad translation and has nothing to do with the horizontal sweep but probably the horizontal blanking pulse width.

3) L503 -- I meant shorting, not shortening, in other words, temporarily connecting a plain wire across the terminals of L503. HOWEVER, NOW THAT I SEE ITS SIZE, I WOULD NOT DO THAT AS THAT MAY ALLOW TOO MUCH HORIZONTAL SWEEP CURRENT AND INCREASE THE PULSE VOLTAGE BEYOND SAFE COMPONENT LIMITS IF YOU DO THAT. BETTER TO SEE IF YOU CAN FIND A REPLACEMENT.
