D866 was shorted, but when I replaced it with 2-15 volt zener diodes, there was no change. Either there is something else wrong in the same circuit, or I need 1-30 volt zener diode. I will try to find a 30 volt zener somewhere.

When this set is first turned on, the picture is black. When the OSD brightness is increased a little bit the picture comes on and is washed out. I can then turn the brightness down for an OK picture. But if I change channels the picture goes black again. The OSD is still visible.
