One of two things:
Either:
a) The STK chips you put in are no good (not uncommon)
or
If you weren't careful you may have removed a surface mount resistor accidently while desoldering the orignal STKs. I had a customer do that to me once and figured it out by comparing the board to the schematic for that board location.
I bought the STK's from a tvrepair website so figured they were good. What concerns me is that one of the surface mount resistors did come off while desoldering, but I resoldered it back in place. Not sure if it is upside down, backwards, etc., but I can't imagine them handling too much heat either.
That many surface mount resistors going bad is uncommon. Make sure you have good continuity with the test probes when measuring. You should read some type of value and it may take a moment for it to register on a meter due to the capacitors on the board.
YOu can buy Surface mount resistors at Digikey. Best bet is to get the schematic and ohm out the circuit from the convergence connector going to the bulb back to the STK chips. Likely you have a missing resistor or two. I've seen that happen. ALso verify you have supply voltage making it to the STK chips.
You can purchase most capacitors and resistors from Digikey. See Suburban Electronics for STK chips or other supplier.

Also, I should be getting some values on my meter when checking the surface mount resistors, right? These sm resistors are not giving me any resistance values or continuity. Are they dead? If so, I have about 8 that are dead...:(
Finally, where can I buy replacements?
