Kevin, is there a fan in the unit? If so the fan might be dead, causing the shutdown. Also, try changing that 2.2 meg resistor even though it checks ok. I'm not really familiar with the circuit, but it sounds a bit strange that there is a transistor connected to the G2. Can you verify that? Is the transistor pulling the G2 down to 4V? Are the any other model/ chassis numbers? It might be a Sony chassis.
