Sounds to me like you need to do a complete tuner alignment then. I hope you recorded the eeprom values before replacing the chip. Have you done one of those before? Might be Y7401 off freq. Check C7507. Also Q4106 possibly shorted, R4132 open and R4130 open. Replace L2302 at end of T chip. Repair trace from 12V to collector of Q7601 SAW AMP. Check U7301 see if pin 1 has any output.

There are no bad connections I was hoping someone had a tech-tip on this problem other then connections and EEPPROM. ----- Original Message ----- From: <tvdoctors@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2001 4:14 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: CTC-177AA > If he's not a tech., he probably won't know what we are talking about and if he tries to perform this operation without being a skilled tech. he will most likely make things a lot worse, ie, solder bridges,etc > > > > ** Original Subject: [TechAssist] Re: CTC-177AA > > ** Original Sender: "Phillip R.
