SECOND FOLLOWUP: OK, upon reviewing the STRF6626 specs closer I found that initially the startup supply voltage is derived via R715 (off the AC) and C709, after a successful oscillator start, the supply voltage is derived via R710, D706 and R709. What would cause this regulator not to start; again I am not familiar with this type of switching regulator circuit at all and would appreciate any help.

Also, replaced STRF6626 as it checked bad too. NOW I still don't have a 18.5V supply at pin4 of STRF6626, therefore STRF6626 is not working. Question: Where does this supply voltage originate? I have a schematic and can't seem to find out where this voltage originates from. I'd appreciate any help as I am not familiar with chassis at all.

D713 is indeed a high failure item and is a 32 volt zener diode, Sharp part# RH-EX0673GEZZ. D713 should be loacted between pins 4 and 5 of IC701 (pin 5 is ground and you should have 1bout 18.5 volts on pin 4 of IC701). I will privately email you a PDF portion of that power supply area. I would also replace IC701 when you replace this diode.
