I finally got around to opening this and the vertical IC is cracked and buldged out the front; so, it's obvious that it's bad. The type number is STV9325 and the Sony part number is 6-708-394-01. There is no NTE substitute for this part and the usual vendors that I do business with (mouser, mcm, mat electronics) either have no record of this part or they claim that it's obsolete/NLA. Does anyone know of any other part number that would work or any other vendor who might have this IC?
I have not checked any other parts; but, I fully expect to find a bad capacitor and/or a bad diode that caused this IC to pop. In working on a lot of later model TV's, I find that the IC's themselves are usually very reliable and when they fail, it's usually because they had help from a bad cap or other part.
