I think its demanding too much current, or over time heat just killed it.

I had the same issues with my currently working NEC projection set, (yes the
picture tubes are shot, IMHO i think generics would work). I replaced and
resoldered the diodes, and it works great, so try that. They just die with
heat, but then again, your HOT could be bad.

Well, the only solution I could offer is to try to look for service
literature
for a Sharp TV set of the same year and type that is as close as possible
in
design. - Reinhart

It's a nine year old set, plug in the diode and see what happens. It
isn't worth anything to fix, except the satisfaction of fixing it,
unfortunately.
