That sounds like it might very well be a defective SSB (small signal board) to which I believe you were referring to. INFORMATION: When handling the Small Signal Boards for the H8 chassis ALL E.S.D. PRECAUTIONS MUST BE TAKEN. This includes wrist strap to chassis ground (tuner) and anti static packaging of the SSB module. Remove all external chassis connectors (signal/AV/AC power) before changing the SSB. There is a common failure with a zener diode on the SSB which can cause various symptoms (Note: this diode is small and must be replaced with extreme care). See the following: SYMPTOM: No color at turn on (or at second turn on after AC break). This is more common with room temperatures below 70 F. SYMPTOM: No turn on from standby, most often after standby overnight and at room temperatures below 70 degrees F. CURE: Both symptoms are cured by replacing zener diode 6031 with Service Code 9322 131 13685, a 2.4 volt part or with 9340 548 42115, also a 2.4 volt part. This part is on the Small Signal Board. The zener is on the side of the SSB facing the tuner, just above pin 5 of IC 7066. The PWB is marked A and K. The end of the part with the bar is K. Also the cure can be made by replacing the SSB. Care in alignment is necessary if the SSB is replaced. The part number for the SSB module is 313917863191.
