Peter, So, in other words, you're looking for tips? First, check the traces under those resistors..they may have burnt open. Second, when posting on these, post the model year so it can be compared to a comparable Funai unit. Third, www.sears.com will list parts for these, usually Funai's p/n. Fourth, from Tech Repair CD: Sylvania\SRT2027\Dead Just hear small start noise\\\\1st Problem R396(220ohms) & R397(220ohms)burned D397(8.2 zener) shorted.\2nd Problem Opto IC501 bad.

Had a Sylvania SRT2027 (sears funai sourcing) come in with burned resistors that appear to feed IC301, a large surface mount IC. A review of the archives revels what appears to be my gut insinct that the set is garbage, with a low probabbilty of getting service data or parts. Any one have an acurate history of the mortaity rate of these sets with nominal cause of death or hope of reviving? (Would appear that this is fairly common), On the other issue any idea on cross compatiblity of parts, tried the CRT with one of my Zenith yoke/chassis but didn't look very good much have an odd deflection/gun configuration.
