I printed out your response. I guess I'm overly careful, but with these HDTVs I usually don't just replace a blown fuse and see what happens. I like to thoroughly research the sym-cures beforehand. I search the database regarding anything referring to a blown F850 5A. Paranoid I know... I was thinking of testing the mentioned bridge,etc.if OK, figure a pair of STK conv. ICs, resolder conv. board completely, solder the interconnection jumpers that couple between defl. and conv. boards. Do you think this sounds logical? Now I need to arrive at a $$$ figure to quote...
