Good Luck. You might want to shoot for a MRA rather than a board. You will wait
a long time for a board. I just received 3 MRA's two weeks ago because of a B/O
situation of the micro we needed to fix 3 TV's we had here in the shop.
We have done maybe 100 of these in the shop in the past two months. 10% had
trouble after the change where we lost features like audio, and PIP. These were
straighten out by putting in the correct Option Bytes. There are 8 Option Bytes
and are only changed using a special factory remote in order to get into the
factory set up mode. This is over and above the service adjustment mode (SAM).
And the good folks at NAP tech support want us to call them each time we need to
know what Option Bytes goes to a particular model. These codes are very similar
to Sony's ID codes.
I'll tell you this NAP M8 chassis is a real piece of work, Micro & Jungle
circuits in one nice little 80 pin flat pack.
