looking at the I/O distribution. Top to button is. Video 2, Video 1, To chassis vga, I/O 1
It's the Tosh PB7534. Here's a video of the sounds mine makes:@kuze Have you verified if your chassis is a Tosh PB7534 or Nanao?
+1.Flyback squeal and a bad HOT.
Right. Should be able to prove that by rolling a piece of paper like a tube, and putting it over the HOT and putting your ear on the other end, if that makes sense. If it were the flyback I'd be /very/ surprised. But hunt around by isolating different components on the chassis that way, and you'll find out for sure. That rear hatch should make it fairly easy if you get a larger than notebook piece of paper.So the HOT would make that "turning over" sound not the flyback on the Windy?
There are several things they can check sure. For most folks though this is a task they're both not familiar nor comfortable with, which is why sending it in for service is usually the best and easiest option. I'm also quick to recommend repair in this situation as I've never received a fully functioning chassis from Yaton.Before simply replace part you can easily check hot function with diode setting in multimeter. Can be checked like most transistor bce. They will blow short when bad. Can first check in circuit quick and easily. If it's good it's good, if it test bad then pull part from circuit by either remove or isolate pin and retest to confirm bad part not bad circuit.
Nice, fingers crossed. I was thinking I would have to pull the monitor to discharge and remove the chassis. How did you go about it?@kuze I just dropped mine off. It’s kind of a pain to get out, but hoping sharp can get it sorted. I may pull my monitor now to get in there for a deeper clean.
Right on, it sounds like it may actually be easier/safer to just pull the tube first - would you agree having just done it the other way?@kuze I accessed from the back panel. You have to be super careful because the monitor neck is in the way. Besides the chassis screws, there’s two additional screws for the vga port. If you’re careful it will come out no problem.
