Help- with JVC 32" CTV

First, STR-F6626 must be OEM.

Not true at all.  We fix these sets with "generic" ICs all the time.  I have
compared several "originals" from JVC with the generic ones and found no
differences at all in operating parameters including temperature.  You have
to be very thorough in troubleshooting these power supplies, but there is
not a problem with using generic STR-F6626 ICs from a reputable supplier.

Like I said, you have to be thorough in troubleshooting these.  It is my
experience that when the chip is not switching at all, it is likely bad,
along with the diode(s) in the primary.  But then we get more lightning here
than in most areas and these ICs seem to fail with a sneeze...in cases
without surges there may be more common failure modes in these power
supplies.

I had a similar model (UK) that wouldn't strike up, and turned out to be a
small diode in the primary circuit.
