Depending on how the STR is shorted, I would the think the set would still run. Assuming the AC line voltage is reduced enough to achieve 130VDC at the output of the regulator. This is a simple linear regulator and easily bypassed. A "Shorted" STR certainly would not point me in he direction of the flyback. Maybe if you had a shorted horizontal output transistor, I might feel inclined to agree with you. But certainly not on 1 shorted part and intestinal feelings......
