Did you replace the open pico fuse on the -24v line? It will typically open with a bad output IC. The silicon that oozes out of the heat sink compound does not cause shorts, just a mess. A 55311 should be guttered from the factory so it should not have coolant on the board.

Here's what I have. This is a service call job on a WS-55311 (Chassis #V20C). It was throwing an error code 22 (Short protect). I measured a dead short on the -24V line, which feeds the convergence output. When I removed the Heat sink from the convergence outputs, I found that too much heat sink compound had been applied to the chips, and had seeped down onto the board. This was the cause of my short. I replaced the convergence IC's, and now I'm getting a code 23 (Horizontal Deflection Failure). The 110V supply is OK. I assume that I have deflection, since I'm reading HV drive to the power board. I double checked that I had replugged everything. Has anyone had any code 23 problems with these? Any ideas will be appreciated.
