I have tried all suggestions with no result. Replaced diodes transformer,caps and resistors pretty much turned into a shotgun job and still won't go. TV will intermittently go to a noticeable buzz (in stand by) from switch mode transformer and output B+ (voltage 205V) and will not work. After a few false starts it will eat the STK again. We are beginning to replace all the parts in primary and secondary power for the 2nd time. Thanks for any input.

Replaced with OEM parts from RCA. > Unit is back and intermittently will kill the STK 730-30 again while in standby mode. Have been able to get no handle on cause. In standby the voltage out goes to 207 volts and pin 1-2 go to 0 and it dies. May turn on and run normally 9 or 10 times in a row then it won't start just squeels and dies. The earlier post lists a parts list we have tried. Maybe just bad regulators?? Trying another source. Anyone else seen this before?
