The relay driver ckt consists of two transistors, QB30, 2SC1815, and Q843, an RN1205 digital. There is supposed to be 4.9 volts on the base of QB30 to turn on the set. That signal comes from the uP QA01, pin 7 thru RA07, 1K. Problem was that voltage would go low almost immediately. The relay would click one time, then nothing. Ed Gadies was kind enough to send a scan of the relay drive ckt, but I couldn't find the problem. I ordered a new Q843, but had my doubts it would fix it. It didn't. I also ordered a s/m for the set. What I found is that power on signal to the base of QB30 also goes to the collector of Q819. Can't figure out what that transistor is supposed to do, but when I floated the collector, the set worked. Checked Q819 and surrounding transistors Q817 and Q818. All checked good. I had the same problem with Toshiba CF27H50. Again, floating collector, Q819 "fixed" it as well. Maybe someone can tell me what the circuit Q817-Q819 does. May be a timing circuit, but the sets both work without Q819 in the ckt.

I jumpered the relay and the set works fine, except the power light flashes continuously. Does anyone have a tip or a schematic of the relay driver ckt. It uses some transistors I have never heard of. They look and test like digitals.
