Customer said it popped and went dead. I find two resistors in the p.s. before the SMPS transformer,in the primary side: R817( looks like .82, 1/2 W) and R818 (2200 ohm 1/2W). Both have the side blown off. From the top, the switching transistor Q801 (BUL26xt) SEEMS OK,at least not shorted from collector to E or B.There is two other IC's in ckt.Any suggestions?
