If it will start with the flyback anode lead removed , the splitter is definitely defective(99.9%) , change it. The bugs and dust can be cleaned 2 ways. unscrew the four large Philips head screws that hold the focal lens on and that will give you access to the inner lens and bugs! Or..........use a compressor to blow them out. If you do this when the set is on you can look into the lens whilst you blow and you'll see them disappear. These chassis can be your friend! ========================== Jeff Stielau Shoreline Electronics Repair 344 East Main Street Clinton,CT 06413 860-399-1861 860-664-3535 (fax) jstielau@xxxxxxxx ======================== "If you push something hard enough it will fall over."
