Hi folks

Finished the last of the electrolytic replacements. All went well until it turned on. Screen came on for about 4 seconds and then went from a normal picture to pitch black and then the chassis started to spark on the underside where i couldn't see. I immediately turned it off and discharged so i can pull it out and review my work.

No burn marks. no melted wires, None of the capacitors i changed were bloated, poofed. shrunken.. So i thought okay maybe it was a freak accident. something might've been touching. so i immediately isolate EVERYTHING in the area. like completely overkill. And then turn it back on. It turns on! no sparks! hurray!... But now there is vertical failure.

I feel actually sick to my stomach. So I'm going to leave it be.. No idea what to do now. but I guess no Christmas movies.
