GE 32" TV HOT overheating.

Model # 32GT660 YX1, chassis # CTC187CN3. Unit had bad connection @
horizontal drive transformer, & horizontal output (BUH517) was
shorted. Replaced with original part, & soldered
the horizontal drive, checked, C4303 smt cap, & R4402 resistor, can't
locate anything bad. My
scope is out of commission. Any tips I missed on this one? Pix is
perfect, & flyback shows not
available as an original. Thanks, Dani.

 

You could try replacing any electrolytics in the vicinity or along the
B+ line, I've seen that cause an overheated HOT. That can be a really
frustrating problem to track down without a scope.

 

Check all the electrolytic caps and diodes in the area of the horiz
output secondary supply. There is also a strong possibility that the
flyback transformer also failed. I have seen this in these types of TV
sets.
