If the fuse is blown, and it keeps blowing them, check the horizontal output transistor. There should also be a voltage regulator circuit that that produces a constant 120 volts or so (if it's anything like a TV). It will be an IC or a transistor. Check that. I replaced a PWM chip in a monitor one time with the same symptoms. It was an 8 pin DIP package. I hope this helps. Andy Morris
