dead samsung rptv

hi,

 I have a samsung pcj 534rfx chassis: p51a

  I  aquired this as a non working set and I was told by the previos owner that he had to replace a resistor twice and gave up on fixing it when something else blew.

  I found the resistor he had replaced, it was the 47 ohm resistor right after the h drive block transformer.

  When i powered up the set I got a ticking noise from transformer t802. The first thing I did was replace the convergance ic's because someone told me they were most likely the problem.  After that i checked some voltages in the h drive circuit and found 60vac on a 30vac line.  I then checked the h.o.t and found no resistance across all 3 legs both polarities I pulled it to check it out of circuit it was the same I have concluded that it is bad, but there is another transistor at q441 that seems to be shorted as well, I have not pulled it to test it out of circuit yet.  Am I testing the transistors properly or do the need to be pulled from the circuit to test?  Does it seem out of the ordinary that both of these would be bad?  Are there any other things I should check before reassembling and powering up?  And is there a good way to check the flyback transformer?  I believe one of the crt's leaked coolant onto a pcb but I am unsure if that is what is causing the current problems.  I am going to install a set of the samsung crt coolant expansion chambers before I reassemble the set.  and most likely a fan pulling air out of the vents on the convergence board side of the tv. is there any other parts that I should check that may have contributed to this failure?

Any help would be appreciated.
