I think we've got one in our shop that works until the vert collapses, we're working back to the wide screen module (missing vert signal - just collapses). The wiring harness that you're talking about, is that where the problem was, or does that just point to the general location to solder on the SMPS stand up module? (BTW we did give this a big estimate). Damon Brunger damon101@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Telrad Electronic Services Ft Wayne, IN 46815 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leonard G.
