Proscan PS31150 CTC169GL Set when plugged in will give a faint chip with a cycle of 8 or 9 smaller and dimishishing power supply start attempts (no attempt to start the rest of the set) B+ on C4141 peaks at about 189v for the instant it is there. The Cycling in the power supply sounds some what like a resonate decay ringing. Set before I got to it appears to have been extensivly reworked (time frame ?) ie eniter Micro circuit reworked (new shiny solder...) the power supply caps in the sw mode appear to have been replaced (they test ok out of circuit 2.2uf, 15uf, 47uf, 470uf) Tried subbing out diodes usch as CR4118, 4117, 4116. Did find a cap C4143 1000uf 35v leaking electrolite but replacing had no effect (traces on underside of board show discoloration but still have continuity). C4401 tests ok (it is an orange drop in this set). I was thinking that the feedback might be sending incorect bias information to the regulator chip. (I have a spare chip but havent put in yet as supply appeared to be at least attempting to work, will be next step on monday. Ideas?
