Actually installed new LA7838 and it ran for 45 seconds before it blew up in smoke. Had installed new caps about 2 years ago, but was surprised to find one leg on C4E2 had literally rusted away! Wouldn't have known that until I decided to ESR the caps and discovered that C4E2 "just didn't feel right", that's when I discovered that the leg, although it looked connected, actually wasn't . Ended up smoking R914 in SMPS's 34 volt supply, any idea what value it is???
