Tks for your reply Al;Yes I reinstalled the 15ufd,checked the 3v zener & every resistor in the p/s.Voltages on the chopper Q4101 are ; E=varies from +0.0 to +0.032vdc B=varies from --0.023 to --0.32vdc[this should be --2vdc] C=varies from +165 to + 169.5vdc These are STBY volts & HOT removed.All the voltages in this p/s are varying up/down .I can hear a low pitch buzz motor boating when set is plugged in.Replaced U4101so many times I installed it on a socket.?????
