I replaced 5 leaky caps that I found but it didn't change anything. I
suspect that vertical output IC went kaput. After all it died suddenly
without gradual picture srinking. Is it LA7838 chip? Is there a way to
test it with multimeter? What is a good place to get a replacement?

If you want serious help, post some specifics. You probably did not get all
of the caps that are bad. There will be at least a dozen. Do you have both
the 12v and 28v supplies at the output IC? Which caps did you change?

I replaced C458, C450, C460 all 100uf. Also C559 and 2G1. I defenately
missed some.... On the IC I have 12v on pin one but no 28v. Is it
supposed to be on pin 8? Nothing there.

Then you need to backtrack to the flyback. You have an open current
limiter, probably a 1.2 ohm 1/2 watt. And yes, if it's an LA7838 pin 8
is your primary VCC and should be 28 volts or so.

Also trace from c458 to pin 9 was corroded and read open. I got that
taken care off.
