This set came in dead other than a high pitch sound.. I removed the power\high voltage bd and found a shorted Q171 andQ177 (HOT).I also see alot of cold solders in this bd. Question for someone that has had this problem with this tv.Is the flyback a very strong possibility for this 2 parts to fail or do you think its because of all the cold solders,including bad connections at the drive transformer. Thanks for your help and or tips. Mando Birdie's TV & Electronics Casa Grande, AZ PS Q171 is a D1276A crosses over to a NTE261.darlington.If someone has the print,can you tell me its function inthe ckt. ***************************************************************************** Classifieds!
