First replace CR4118 (164590/nte588.Then the SMPS IC U4101 (200419), Vreg transistor Q4101 (200165)and the small lytics around it (15,3.3 and 47MFD's.The 47 may be a 39mfd.). Open resistor "R3U" AKA R4003, 33K, 2W.Start there. Phil Hoyt's TV wrote: >Direct view CTC169 > >Power supply is not firing up.
