I just wanted to share the fix on this 32" Apex that I've been wrestling with the last 3 months. The fix was the crystal mounted on the stand-up audio board. I used a Philips crystal #2422 543 00842. The set had crackling sound at cold start and then went silent. The Apex number is CHCRY00002 and Sony # 988501335. -- ***************************** Bill Grabowski Triangle Appliance Kenosha,Wi 53142 262-694-6500 262-694-6523 fax bgrabowski@xxxxxxxxx ***************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
