Thought I fixed this problem with the STR30130 IC.(see original thread below) Ran all day. Turned it off, then tried to turn it on. No go. Same issue as before. Dead. I am replacing C007 (4.7@160V) and R005 (220K) both ib the PS near the str30130. Maybe they go bad under load, or warm. I also have a 2 watter R409 I pulled and need to check:. Reads about 7K but I need it's value. Thanks. Phil Bader Phil Bader wrote: >Originally set was said to be dead after storm.
