I originally /did/ replace C4401, thats how I got the set up and running (one leg cold solder/arced). I then had the side bow. I since found pin transistor Q4802 leaky (MPS651/200168) and replaced it also, no improvement. I replaced C4402 as a test (.056) also no help. Checked the diodes mentioned (CR4401,4402) seem OK. I pulled and checked transistor Q4803 but tested OK. I'm stumped. Phil Bader gulftech@xxxxxxxx wrote: >Probably bad C4401.
