Hello, this set came in dead. We replaced HOT Q503 with 2SC4927 (as advised by Sony bulletin) and replaced R523 with a .33 ohm resistor. L501(7.5mH coil) was burnt, we replaced it and also R571(3.3ohm 1W) and Q505(2sc3298) (as advised by Sony). We also found R518(4.7ohm 1/2W) open and replaced it. We checked for bad solder connections in the area and soldered poor ones. TV is working now with good picture but L501 is still getting too hot. Any help appreciated!
