I just worked on a 43UWX10B and had a similar experience. The STK's I changed and had RK46 open 1.8ohms on a DP14G chassis. After completion I had to redo the convergence because when the faulty parts were still in it the customer tried the Magic Focus and screwed the red up more than it was already. I went in and re-adjusted the convergence and make sure you save to ROM and don't forget to initialize the Sensors (Magic Focus) You can get good instructions from the Hitachi site. GoodLuck!!
