You may find a schematic for the power supply board by looking up the part number. Looks like a MEGMET power supply used in a lot of off brand sets, so it will be something like MLT666. Seen them in sets sold under many different names here. I've seen an almost identical sets, but the ProScan brand isn't used here.

From the sets behaviour it sounds like the power supply is shutting down when the TV comes out of standby. The first thing I'd be looking for is shorted diodes, though that isn't the only possible fault. On these they're on the top right corner of the board near the connectors. The voltages should me marked near the connectors, possibly on the bottom side of the board.

ProScan was supposed to be the premium RCA product.
I got a headache just looking at the pictures.
The thing consumes 130 watts. I thought those things were supposed to be energy efficient.

Even sadder? This tv spent its life (7 yrs) being carried from an office--- plugged in---- Ran for 15 minutes showing a DVD --Unplugged---Returned to the office---ONCE A MONTH... Talk about LOW HOURS..

I wonder if the plug in/out--in/out didnt surge the Power supply? And if i do find a defective part on this board can those teeny-tiny parts be replaced?? I see some micro tools in my future..
