Hello!
If you read the post below (sorry for two post....), I have a E500 Sony monitor.
I have replaced the varistor that regulate hte high tension of the FBT...because the previous is quite "cooked"....
So, now I must regulate the high tension to the valour of 27 kV.
I don't have the high tension probe for my meter (they are quite expensive, and I don' t want purchase their....).
There is any safe method (for example, using a voltage partitor, or something other!) to measure this voltage with a standard meter?

You could build a voltage divider, but to do it safely it would require more effort and cost than the probe.

Let's see... a piece of plastic pipe about two feet long... a hundred 1 meg resistors soldered in series... 100 megohms... one end connected to ground, the other to 27 kV... that's a current draw of only 270 microamps... and the voltage across the resistor connected to ground will be only 270 volts.
