Hi All Just got started on this one. Wondering about the STR53041 if it's good or not? I have some saved STR53041's but I noticed that some of them have pins 2-3 with a very low ohms. I would like to hear from others if this indicates a bad chip.! I need to throw these out if they are bad. BTW the customer said that the set flashed then went to a flat line , then went out, and wouldn't go again. At this early point I've only noticed one shorted transistor nearby the regulator. Number escapes me right now at home.
