Thanks Perry, This set doesn't have a PIP module. In place of that it has an interface board for the AV jacks. I did have one of those 3.3V regulators go bad and the set would just click on and off 4 times and quit. -- Best regards, Bil mailto:tv.vcrrepair@xxxxxxxxxxx Thursday, December 19, 2002, 9:52:44 PM, you wote: EM> If the unit has a PIP module, check for bad regulator ic's on the pip EM> module. This is the 3 legged variety (TO-220 case) on the pip board. We EM> usually sub the module out with a non PIP test board for test.
