This set was brought in with a blown STRF6653 plus some zeners and resistors located in PS section. I replaced all of them and the SET came on. I only made it stayed for the first time for between 2-4 minutes then powered OFF and left to do something else. The next time I attempted to power it it went into STANDY mode, so I used the remote to activate it, BUT the POWER only stays on for 2seconds, then back into STANDBY mode. This time the reote cannot be used again to power up, unless you switch OFF the mains and try again. After analysing the schematics taking some readings around the STRF6653, it requires an input voltage of 17Vdc, but currently what is measured is around 12Vdc. There is a switching TRANSISTOR C4517 that should supply the 17Vdc to the STRF, from an input of 207-230Vdc. With the STRF in circuit, the input voltage of C4517 reduces to 39Vdc, when STRF is taken out of circuit, the input voltage ot C4517 is FULLY present. I then replaced the STRF and C4517 with new ones, thinking they be might FAULTY (degenerating), but the problem is still there. I am please welcoming ALL ADVICE and STEPS from all quarters in order to help solve this problem. Thanks to all in advance.
