This set suffered a power surge. The set switches on, produces a raster for a few seconds and shuts down. The SMPS is SOPS type. The theory of operation is not trivial.

Regulation is from B+ through an opto and TL431.

The B+ open circuit is 138V with the supply making a hum at 595Hz (the trouble and strife has perfect pitch). Any load, in place of the LOPT and HOT, causes the supply to groan and shut down. With B+ OC, 431 Ref is 2.4V, Cathode is 3.8V, reasonable under no load.

Anyone with experience of this set, please?

Sorry, no relevant experience, but the fact that the TL431's Ref input is closer to 2.4V than to 2.5V would make me think that B+ is about 5V too low, even in standby.

Unless the PSU uses discrete transistors, I'd be looking for a PWM IC. Its datasheet would hopefully have an application diagram that matches your circuit.

Thanks Franc

The supply is discrete and self oscillating, probably designed that way to save $0.30. The slightest thing and it stops Iworking; fixing it is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
