I suspect weak 5642 rectifiers but before I jump into that mess, can you offer any suggestions on how to best troubleshoot this problem?
Been a while since I looked at the schematic, but if it has a flyback derrived B+ boost rail check the voltage on that...If it is spot on then your HV rectifiers are suspect.
