[TechAssist] TA Samsung TC2540S..R415 open..FBT replaced 1 month ago

This set is back again.,..
This time the 1.2 amp fuse is open. Customer said it failed when she pressed 
the power button. I found an
intermittent trace from R415. Now set will stay on for a few minutes, then the 
fuse opens.
I suspect the FBT which I got from ASTI, but I would think the HOT would go 
also.
I have no schematic, but I checked every thing I could find in the HV 
section..resistors, diodes, etc.,
but can find no problems. I have tried to troubleshoot this thing, but I keep 
going through fuses to
quick.
Should I order another FBT?
Thank you.

I repaired this set exactly one month ago.
Replaced the FBT with a generic from Acme Sales...(Don't say it). Also, 
replaced the fuse, HOT and R415.
Got a call today the set was dead again, just clicked on, then clicked off when 
pressing power.
Went over this evening to find R415 (.47/1w) open again and burnt. I replaced 
it with a .39 ohm and the
set worked. The color bands were burnt on this.
The B+ goes through this resistor.
I felt the resistor after running the set for a while and it didn't get real 
hot.
Question, could a faulty flyback cause this or a marginal reg?
Is it possible the lower value I used may increase the longevity of this 
component?
Thank you.
