John, From Tech Repair CD: RCA\CTC188A PTK188AB\The set chirps three times then nothing\\\\Shorted Q4101 and replaced it along with the B+ regulator kit (231472)* Q4109* CR4101\Still shuts down..bad splitter 205064\\\\\\\ I would replace these parts, no matter what, if they are original. CR4118 is another one. Check for shorted audio outputs by disconnecting the plugs to the audio board, if set stays on, one of the IC's are bad.

This may repeat nine or ten times till it stays on. HV splitter block has been replaced, xray pin on T-chip checks ok. Swapped out the micro, no change. Any ideas?
