Good news. Never did find a schematic but Googling I found a mention of a
capacitor, C605. This is an electrolytic 22uF* rated at 250V. It didn't
look bad but unsoldering it it does look a little bulged at the bottom. I
didn't have anything like that laying around but figure a bigger cap in a
PS section might be worth trying I temp wired a 680uF* / 200V and with that
in the circuit the TV starts and behaves normally. So I need to find one
closer in value if not the exact replacement.

I measure 140V across it. It's there even with the set is off so obviously
standby related. I had no idea standby voltage was so high. I suppose it
could be from the wrong value; without a schematic I don't know if it would
do that. But that does indeed seem to be the source of the problem.

Here's one for future use: μ

If you were running Windows, you'd be able to get it from the Character Map
applet. And if you can also enter it directly by pressing ALT+0181.

Thanks Sylvia but that's not reproducing correctly here (running Xnews on
Windows XP). I tried using one and saw it wasn't going to work.

Hmm...that one may work. � Thanks.

I'm not sure what one I tried (pasting in from elsewhere) but probably the
same thing Sylvia was suggesting. I don't know if others see that one
correctly but I didn't.
