It came in with a Blown H.O.T (2SD2349), and a hole in the Vertical Output IC (TA8427K). I replaced both of these with OEM parts,..installed a new B+ fuse, soldered Horz. driver transformer, and couldn't see any bad connections. I fired it up, and as soon as I heard the static from the high voltage come up, it blew the H.O.T, and B+ fuse almost instantly. I am thinking about removing and ringing the IFT, but, just wanted to see if you guys have any other ideas first. I might change the Reg IC (STRM6511), and try again, but, I only have ONE more H.O.T., in stock. Don't want to blow it, if no need to. Any help is appreciated, LLW LeRoy Westlund Westlund TV & Electronics " Walk tall,...Walk straight 93 North Main and look the world Centerfield, UT 84622-0087 right in the eye " Ph./Fax 435-528-3822 mailto:LLW@xxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------ Submit A Repair Tip For Everyone Here: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/main.html ------------------------------------------ To REMOVE your email address, click here: http://www.tech-assist.org/unsubb.html To CHANGE your email address, click here: http://www.techassist.net/forms/change.html ------------------------------------------ Submit A Repair Tip For Everyone Here: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/main.html ------------------------------------------ To REMOVE your email address, click here: http://www.tech-assist.org/unsubb.html To CHANGE your email address, click here: http://www.techassist.net/forms/change.html
