I sure did with just about identical symptoms as yours (mine was model # D44LPW134). I too, talked with Thomson tech assist who was absolutely clueless about it and at first suggested to replace the light engine. I said what the hell are you talking about, the ballast never even attempts to ignite. It seemed to be either the power supply board or the SSB board that was the problem. Interesting note is that the power supply board was listed as "not eligible for warranty replacement" as it is supposed to be component level repair. This board was double soldered on both sides of the board and is not easily serviced so it should be a board level replacement. The board was very inexpensive and the Techline gave me an authorization to replace it. I was going to also order the SSB for it as it was cheap and I wanted to have both for my return trip. The customer had purchased it from QVC and called that evening to say that QVC was going to replace it for her so I never got to return on it. None of my many RCA distributors had either board and did not have the part number in their system for the power supply board. Here is the reply I received from Tritronics about the boards: Part # 267911 SSB board Part # 268147 Power Supply Board 267911 is listed as factory backorder no ETA. I will contact RCA about 268147.

It was made in Jan/05. The set is dead. No lamp,no lightwheel,nothing. Cannot hook up to Chipper check because Ver. 1.85 does not have this chassis listed. (too new) Standby voltages are o.k., so I'm assuming that the power supply module is o.k. ( I know-never assume) The troubleshooting chart on the CD is totally useless. Spoke with the RCA rep this afternoon, and he basically suggested shotgunning parts into it,starting with the SSB board. I hate doing this,but I don't have much choice. Surprisingly, I checked the price of the board at Global Electronics and the board is listed at $68.00 CDN.Must be a typo. BTW, the power indicator lamp gives 5 flashes,3 times,then stops. Has anyone had a similar problem on this set before? Thanks in advance.
