This multi-format VCR will play NTSC tapes fine, but will not show a picture with PAL or SECAM tapes--just a grey raster. The audio plays fine. I swapped out 2 boards from a known good VCR (exact model) and found out that the DA-02 board is at fault. All caps and fuses check good on this board. This circuit board has 14 surface mount IC's. Does anyone have a good DA-02 circuit board in their junk pile? Thanks.
