It sounds like there is a shorted component in the startup/micro circuit. The relay that you removed is probably not the power relay, but is most likely for the degaussing circuit. I have had the exact same symptoms when the power relay contacts are shorted. Are you sure there is not another relay hiding somewhere else on the board? This set seems too old to not have a power relay.
