in a similar situation the metal strap that you speak of, which is 
actually a 
big resistor, had been pushed too far forward and was touching the metal 
plate in front of it.  i had to replace the resistor band cause it was 
burned 
clear thru.  then it ran fine and i made sure not to push the resistor 
bands 
too far forward after that.  good luck, jon k
