Panasonic CT32G5B, ABP331 chassis. This set came in with a shorted avalanche diode D525, damaged power regulator IC803 (STR58041) and open resister R828 (47@3wt). It squeals as if there is a secondary short. Scoping the regulator circuit shows good initial peak-to-peak ringing that dies off as if the circuit is starving from insufficient current. I would like to know if anyone has a method to run this circuit fully decoupled from the chassis? I already tried disconnecting all of the secondary loads and using a 50 watt lightbulb as a dummy load for the 130 volt supply. I have a factory manual and it lists the regulator as being a STR58041A but there was a STR58041 installed as original factory and it has better operating specs than does the "A" version. Any ideas or past experiences appreciated.
