NEC Multisync P1250+ low HV, no picture

Got this monitor in with symptoms I don't come across often. There's no
picture, and the HV while present, only measures about 8KV, I'm guessing
this is the reason for no pic. It's quite difficult to get in and measure
waveforms with the monitor operating, is the flyback a common failure in
these? It uses a separate MOSFET to drive the HV, I tried a ring test on the
flyback between ground and pin 1 which I *think* is the drive pin and only
get 2 lights on the tester, I'm not sure however if this applies to this
sort of setup. Anything else I should look out for on this thing? Seems to
be a pretty decent 21" trinitron monitor.

I'm not familiar with this unit, and I haven't done any monitor
troubleshooting for a couple of years.

Just for grins, have you measured focus potential at the CRT socket? I'm
sure that it's highly unlikely that F is draining about 20kV, so it's just a
WAG.

The only other suggestion I'd have, that I'm fairly sure you're already
aware of, would be low B+

The main power supply may be working too low. It is also possible that
something is loading it down. You will have to properly troubleshoot the
unit to determine the exact cause. Without a service manual and a reliable
parts source, this is going to be a difficult one. NEC will not sell any
parts or service manuals to non NEC service reps.

I'll try to do some probing on the power supply, this is one of those
monitors where you almost have to tear the whole thing apart to reach the
PCB at which point a bunch of cables are unplugged so it can't be turned on.

If it's like the 21" Sony/IBM models I had here recently, there are shields
surrounding everything.
The PSU is accessible by removing the top shield, then removing the screws
for the PSU panel, then it swings down. You can open the cable anchor
twisty-holders and remove the inner shield that covers the PSU board.

The models I saw had enough cable length for the PSU to lay down flat while
still connected.
The sweep/deflection board didn't have as much freedom of movement.
