"b"

This Tv came to me with the fuse blown and the KA3S1265 chip missing.

I replaced the ic, but have not yet plugged in. Basically , doing a
few double-checks I saw that I have a dead short on the output of the
bridge rectifier.


** You have used an insulator between the new chip and its heatsink ??

The KA3S1265 comes in metal tab TO3P-5 and fully coated versions.
