Hi Buck, Is this a 31" set? I had the same chassis about 4 years ago with the same symptoms--except for replacing the fly and HOT. Mine would also change channels without the front panel connected. I did the tuner wrap, replaced many diodes in the P/S and changed the infrared sensor. I think I also replaced some of the switches on the front panel. It drove me crazy! I'm not sure what fixed it. I am very curious what your fix will turn out to be.

Replaced F/B and H/O , ran set for 6 hours on bench. Customer picked up on Thursday. He returned with it on Monday. It is some times interment and won't start. When it does start it will run for 15-20 mins OK , then it will start to change channels every 1 or 2 secs, you also lose any control from the buttons (ON/OFF) etc. There is a connector that connects the front panel control board to the main chassis. If you pull the connector from the main chassis it will stop changing channels and will stay on the last one that was there before connector was pulled. It will run fine from that configuration.. Changed the EEPROM, checked soldering,checked switches on front panel and all to no removed remote receiver and still same. I haven't done the tuner job yet, so I will try that tomorrow Anyone have any ideas on this as its got me baffled.
