 The other thing I could not find was a standard chart or guide to Gas Surge Tube colour bands. I tried a few datasheets of particular brands of tube. It appeared that colour bands mean something per manufacturer, but I am still to confirm this.
-At any rate, it was time to move on.

+Since then P.Remaker has been in touch and got some great answers on these "Sparkgap Arrestors", [[https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/689916/what-is-this-part-from-an-lcd-monitor-power-supply|what is it, and it's designator]] and [[https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/111550/what-is-this-component-and-what-is-its-use|it's symbol]]. You can get more in-depth reading [[https://www.lsp-international.com/lightning-current-surge-and-overvoltage-protection | here]]. With all that said, this part is doing more to save your monitor than being the cause of your fault.

 Everything on the pre-rectified AC side appeared to be OK, so was time to move to the rectifed side and see if the issue was there instead.

-It was clearer once out of the board. Suffice to say the resistor was dead, no continuity at all.
+It was clearer once out of the board. Suffice to say the resistor was dead, no continuity at all. The band colours are Brown, Black, Silver. Then tolerance band is Gold, making this 0.1 Ohm.

 Quick check on the board, seems no more shorts. Time to power the board up.
-Turned on: no bang. Isolation transfomer didn't blow a fuse. That's something!

+Received a note from Dave P who performed the same repair but used a FDPF15N65 (15 A, 650 V, N-Channel MOSFET by ONSEMI in a TO-220F package), and is working well.

 Tested the cold side output pins. I got the expected 4 x 12.8V pins, 1 x 2 volt and 1 x 3 volt output pins. I think this is a winner!

-Nathan B, Nicolas S, Jan.B from Germany, and Frank from Germany have been in touch to let me know that they have all managed to get their S32D850T's going again.

 I also received a really nice note from Karen and Danny Ellis of [[https://www.facebook.com/r2rAussie | Mend It, Australia]] who used the article to help inspire their repair. Theirs was set as a repair subject for the up and coming [[https://openrepair.org/repair-day/ | International Repair Day 2021]].
