A special thanks goes to Jeff at Shoreline | Electronics for the tip for IC900 (STRM6811). I had gone over this chassis | using heat and freeze spray but missed this one. It was well hidden under | the heatsink fins and covered up by two large elecrolytics (couldn't be seen | unless you knew where to look). With the brightness at a minimum, the set | would play for hours but as soon as I heated IC900 the set went into | shutdown.
