BINGO! John, I installed a 5.6 volt zener and the set works fine, regulates at about 126 volts. With the lightning storms we have had I was worried this would have extensive damage but it was just the zener, thanks. ************************************************** Jim Myers Since 1972 Telrad Electronic Services Co.

It appears tje TVS2540C is similar to the TVS2740 which is in Sams 4428. It has a D528 (5.6v zener) in the feedback circuit, that could explain why the TV shuts down now. TVS2740 uses a SMPS with IC STR-F6624. Please let me know if this works out so I can add it to my notes. John.
