SONY Trinitron KVG14Q2 Repair Help FROM MY SERVICE TABLE TODAY

TDA8374A (Chroma)_STR S6707 (SMPS switching)_LA7830 (Vertical Scan Output IC)_ Sharp PQ 09RE 11 (9V controlled voltage regulator IC) _ 2SD1877 (Horizontal Scan Output Transistor)_NX1733/m (FBT/LOT)
Set received for repair with no picture condition; today.
On power ON, the standby LED blinks 3 times and then shuts off.
As the standby LED blinks, at least once time, it is clear that the SMPS section circuit to this set is working properly. 
But, the main system control micro-computer IC detects something short circuit with any component/s at the main board.
As the set is a very old model, the spare part availability will be somewhat difficult.  So; I should take much care with work; not to damage more components. 
I opened the back cover.  A visual inspection is done for any damaged component/s on-board.  Such as bulged/shorted capacitors, damaged IC/s and such.
I found that the vertical scan output IC is cracked.  I’ve attached the photo of the same here.
Checked all other main components, which can likely to be faulty; using multi-meter.  Checked the Horizontal Output Transistor for any leak with its junction The Horizontal Output Transistor used with this set is D1877.  I did notice, it is the original one fitted by the company.  Nobody have replaced it.  We can detect this by inspecting its solder terminals.
Yet, de-soldered it out from the circuit board, and checked it alone using meter set to KOhms range.  No abnormal measurement noticed.  De-soldered it into place again.  Screwed it on to its heat sink.
De-soldered out the damaged vertical scan output IC from the circuit board.
Switched ON the set without it.
The standby LED lighted up once, then 3 times and OFF, as before.
[With this set’s circuit, it won’t switch ON properly, or produce EHT or even a horizontal line will appear on the screen, as other company’s sets will; except the +B voltage [112VDC] only will be present.
I did check the +B112VDC.  It was OK.  No fluctuations.  Checked the voltage at the primary  winding of the line drive transformer, and at the collector terminals of the Line Drive Transistor.  All found OK.
Switched OFF the set, and checked all the solder terminals at the solder side of the PWB, once more; using a magnifying glass.
After some time, at about 25 minutes, I detected a minute loose solder terminal at the 9V voltage regulator IC.  This IC has 4 solder terminals.  It is a controlled voltage regulator, which in turn controlled by the main microcomputer IC.  If the microcomputer IC detect any short circuit anywhere at the circuit board, it will shut down the control voltage to this IC; and it will down the 9VDC, which goes to the main chroma oscillator jungle IC [TDA8374A], and that was happening here.
But here there were two faults.  The loose solder terminal at the regulator IC said above (IC521 Pin-1).  The vertical scan output IC (LA7830) short.
Re-checked all the solder terminals at the main board to make sure that there are no other loose solder terminals.
Set switched on; fed to RF signal [On-Air].  Tuned it.  OK.

VIDEOCON 21 inch CTV REPAIR HELP From MY SERVICE TABLE TODAY - Retrace Lines all over the screen

Retrace lines all over the screen _ High brightness _ Audio OK _ Faint picture 
FBT Number to this set is BSC24-01N 4013E
In most cases, there are two reasons for this retrace lines.  The first one is with a high screen voltage.  In rare cases, the screen-pot meter [built inside the FBT] might be faulty.  If so, there is no repair to this fault, other than replace the FBT/ [LOT].
The second possibility is reduced video output stage supply voltage.  This voltage is generated by one among the winding of the FBT.  For some sets, it will be from the main SMPS section itself.  This supply voltage may vary from 280VDC to 290VDC.  It will depend upon the model & circuit of the TV. The most probable reason for a low video output stage supply voltage is, either the diode that rectifies this voltage at the FBT winding end is faulty; or the smoothing capacitor used with this DC supply line has open.  The capacitor used here might be 10MFD to 22MFD; electrolytic type of high voltage rating.  Usually it will be 10MFD350VDC.
If this capacitor is open, the DC voltage will drop considerably, causing a very low voltage at the cathodes of the CRT gun; which in turn make it high emitting (electron) state, causing a screen of too high intensity along with vertical retrace lines.  The lines will appear across the screen; all over it, at a space of 1 or 2 inches.  They will be slightly slanted too; in position.  I've attached the photograph of the effected TV screen here.
 What I did first is to check the supply voltage to the video output section [CRT base card].  It was found normal here. And the fault should be of an abnormal screen voltage. 
 When I noticed closely to the screen, there is a very faint picture, but, it was or normal in size.  Slightly expanded than normal.
 The +B voltage from the SMPS section should be suspected.  I did check it.  According to the schematic, it should be 108.5VDC at load.
But, here it shows about 117.7VDC.  Much more than normal.  Adjusted it.  There is a pot-meter on board at the SMPS stage circuit to this set.  It can be adjusted.  The SMPS of this set is an adjustable type, not auto.
Ahh:  It worked fine.  No other adjustments have to do here.  Cleaned the inside of the set and circuit board using hot air blower.  My work is over.  Delivered after 2 hours check.
AFTER THE ADJUSTMENT
SCREEN POT-METER POSITION Here I haven't adjusted it any more

V GUARD DELUXE50 FIRDGE STABILIZER – Repair Help Fom MY SERVICE TABLE TODAY

V-Guard Fridge Stabilizer Deluxe 50 - Dead - No Input & output LED lights up.  No output voltage.
Condition : Dead.  No input or output LED light up.
Used a pre-programmed IC CTM1273 to control the circuit board PWB.
On checking, the thermal fuse found damaged.
 Replaced the thermal fuse (inserted inside the primary side of the transformer).  Power light came alive, but there was no output LED light up; or any output voltage; even after 5 minute duration.
Checked the components on circuit board.  The relay used (on board) HJR-3FF-S-2 was found not working.  It's winding was open.  Replaced the same; and checked OK.
  When checking this stabilizer, please check the AC fuse [the thermal fuse in the transformer] first; then the Relay.  This fuse can be replaced. Pull that fuse out (after de-solder its two connections).  Insert a new  one in place and solder the terminals as it was.  I’ve marked both the damaged component that I’ve replaced.  Note the photographs attached.
If the pre-programmed IC said above is found damaged, contact the authorized service center for V-Guard.  There is no way to get it from open electronic spare part market.
