Macintosh RGB monitor m1296 power problems

Hi so I recapped a m1296 and everything went well and it worked well for days. I took the bezel off to retrobrite it. I put it back on. Now when I power the unit, you can hear the screen energize for about 5 seconds then there’s a click and the screen powers down. The board stays powered. Power is normal at the 24v tp, unit starts up with all the voltages correct then when the screen powers down the 80 goes to ~14, the 12 goes to ~1.4 and the 100 goes up to about 112. Is this a bad voltage regulator or something?

suspect x-ray protection

There is an X-Ray protection circuit that shuts down the power supply in case the EHT is too high. Do you have a high voltage probe?
