Driver Transformer, caps C4306, C4407, and diode CR4403.Resistors R4110, R4126, R4305 that were stressed (discolored ), also replaced resistor R4402 in HOT circuit. Checked all voltage supplies and they are all real close. Set now operates fine, HOT runs cool, but on pictures that have writing on the screen or writing scrolling along bottom, the letters are bent or kinked, you can also notice a slight kink or bend in vertical straight edges, like doorways,etc.This problem looks like a capacitor problem, but I haven't run into this problem before, I checked tech-assist tips and found nothing that seemed close to this problem. Anyone seen this before or have a solution?
