Jimmy,

	When I did this test (following the procedure from the link in my last
post) I found that it took over 100 volts to find the return pin. I
couldn't find it with a 12 volt supply, still didn't find it when I doubled
that. Switched to a 25 volt supply (which when rectified and filtered was
around 35 volts) and still didn't find it. Doubled that; still nothing. I
finally put two 25.2 volt transformers in series (secondaries) and doubled
the output. Then I was able to locate the return pin. Could be that the
flyback is shot but it may just take more voltage.

Mike

i tried a 30 volts from a different supply and still
nothing. could it be fried? how often are the flybacks
the parts that fail? i had two  flybacks but i was
being a retard and kept only the bigger one instead of
the one i knew worked( i had to smash the other one to
see what was inside).
