I replaced the output, and D409 and R420. I also replaced IC346. Set came up fine on the bench, I let it run for 25 mins. Checked the temp on all components, no problems. I put the cover back on and fired it up for burn-in, and the vertical went nuts. I have gone over the entire board with a magnifying glass and a DMM there are no breaks or bridges causing this. I only use Philips components, and I suppose it might just be a bad part, but...before I go putting another one in there, I thought I would check to see if anyone else had this happen before. Thanks in advance, John.
