Er... I still don't nesc buy it. A shorted winding or two on the primary
will be very obvious with a meter, and it may be trickier on the
secondary....
but a wrap or two on the secondary won't make the flyback unusable... and
if it is a short across (for instance) a significant portion of the
secondary coil, the resistance will show it.
The only failure mode I can think of that a live test (with a high freq.
signal) might get above and beyond a meter test is a bit of insulation in
the secondary that has broken down (fine under no power, but a high
voltage arc in the secondary when in operation).
Not to belabor the point, but...
