This set produces HV and indications that it wants to run but then shuts down. I changed the Vertical IC assuming that the micro needed to see a vertical pulse. But it didn't help. The vertical is working for a second. High voltage pulses appear to be normal for the short period they are visible. VCR appears to be working normally. It will load and unload even though the TV will not run. If I press the power button continuously and fast the screen will light and be filled out in of course a pulsing fashion. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
