With Roberts tip to check all semiconductors in the P/S, I found that
CR14105 (1k ohms), U14102 (300 ohms) and U14101 (55 ohms) were all
partially shorted in the P/S.  I don't know why they shorted, but at
least it is repaired now.

The original problem was the set would change channels by itself and
could not be turned off.  After it was unplugged for 3-4 hours then the
set would work normally.  Now it is dead, with a strange chirping sound
coming from the P/S.  The B+ with the HOT disconnected is 49 volts and
the 3 voltages on the eeprom are 1.5 volts instead of 5 volts.  It seems
that I have a P/S problem as all my voltages are low by about 70%.  I
also disconnected the gemstar with the same voltage readings.  What can
I check next?  Thanks.
