Studied one simmilar last year a AV27D201 uses the STRF6626 in the power supply. Set worked but onky so-so. That partuclar power supply uses active feedback from the Error amp probabbly a SE135 or simmilar. Pin 2 common needs to be held to ground to keep error from triggering an off state but there is also active feed back from the circuit across PC901 (the opto isolator) I would suspect that the feedback signal is impropper from parts along the turn on/regulation path the last leg is Q943 and D942 a Zener (At least with the D201 chassis I am assuming yours is simmilar) Check the path of transistors back from the opto-isolator and parts on the secondary side of the transformer. The reason these sets are such a pain is that there is an active feedback-reguation circuit and all of the parts need to be right for it to work, Lighting does funny things to parts that make faults difficult at times to follow. On 27D201 I mentioned the set would run if I had the Damaged-leaky Q943 in the set and put a 1k resistor accross D903 (basicly manually set the regualtion voltage) the only problem was the HV and filiments never shutdown in that state. I rember a posting reciently on a lighting damaged set simmilar to yours that required replacement of the parts you mentioned some of the transistors and the error amp.

I have a Sams for the set. I checked = many other diodes in the primary of the power supply but found nothing more. After this, the 14 volt supply only comes up to 6.9 volts (or the power supply shuts down with the result that we see 6.9V). I replaced C926 on = the 14 volt line and saw the 14 volt line come up to 12 volts, and the thing almost powered up, with a shot of high voltage. But now we are back to = 6.9.=20 I know everyone hates these sets, especially when lightning is involved, = but somebody must have a training document or procedure for working through = this type of problem. I want to conquer this thing so future similar repairs = will become routine. Also, I understand many of the JVC models use similar = power supplies, the AV-32050 for example. Remember the old Sony's with the weird SGS horizontal output? That was another case where the set would gobble new parts and almost kill you, = until we found a Sony procedure for energizing the horizontal section with an external 35 volt supply so that waveforms could be checked. Once we got through one using the good procedure, all future ones were easy. What do you say we try to collect some knowledge or procedures on these sets?
