Just fixed one like this last week, I've seen several where Q14601 blows apart. Also check or replace the neg 12 volt diode. if it is leaky Q14601 will blow up again when ac is applied. last one had a shorted CR14611 or CR14608[33v supply], and rca subbed Q14601 w/a kit, change a resistor and delete a cap, had trouble finding the cap so I left it in and the circuit wouldn't run, found the cap to delete was a smd right off leg of Q14601. their was also a shorted smd transistor I don't remember the # as I am not at work.

AC line fuse open Q14601 not only shorted but ruptured. PC board charred and burned. Replaced Q14601 Q14602 CR14614,CR14613,CR14615, R14604, R14606, C14605. Looked like a fireworks factory as soon as I applied AC. Replace all again. Could not find any problems on the secondary . Same thing when I applied AC. Noticed that Q14100 has shorted now also.....wasn'tshorted i the beginning. PC Board was burned on the top and bottom around Q14601. Could this be a Lightning job. Customer said they came home and it poped when they turned it on.
