When I was little I would spend hours hitting a flyback transformer with a hammer just trying to get it apart. Those things are really tough.

It does not really matter as long as the ferrite has not shattered into too many pieces. Just superglue them together and they will work fine except maybe mechanical vibration noise at high loads. A rather large air gap is used for all these transformers anyways so braking into say 5 pieces is no big deal.

It's also filled with factory installed smoke , but don't worry what you are doing won't release it

İts one of the most useful transformer but the microwave transformer. Flyback is lot less dangerous and easy to use. To the people who reading this, if you want to make some beautiful arcs definitely start with something like this. Dangerous but not mych as a microwave transformer. "Sorry for my bad english :)) "

You should have tried acetone. As for the fragments, it's probably not worth it but you could gather them all up and then pulverize them as finely as possible and then combine them with clay or epoxy or some other binder and form it into a brand new core.

I repair the broken core with JB-weld...which is ferrous! BUT nowadays some is FAKE!!! When buying the JB, bring a neo magnet. With the real stuff, the tube containing the 'steel'...the black goop...should stick to the magnet!!

I have an old LG CRT TV and with a busted FBT. Can I replaced the busted FBT with a different FBT model if I can't find the exact model to replace the busted one? Thanks in advance.

this video was so fun cuz I like destroy things like this xd cuz I think may I can use these things inside that in future

lol, lets hammer it all out

How did the second one not break?!

Get a heat gun makes everything easier doesn't matter what you're doing everything becomes easier with the heat gun

Where is the hv diode

This is sacrilege!!! :)

Does the flyback accumulate energy? its dangerous to teardown without gloves? thanks for the video ;)

Where. Are. The. Diodes?!?!

I thought you were about to open it, not destroy it.

Why didn´t you take out the core beforehand?

is it possible to fix a flyback ! the one on my commodore 1701 just died !!

is he have internal diode

Use hot water to get them out 👍
