Sounds like you may need to reinitialize the main eeprom with chipper check. ************************************************** Jim Myers Since 1972 Telrad Electronic Services Co.

Can't turn it off or anything without unplugging the set. You can immediately replug the tv and it will work fine for another 2 hrs. I have already eliminated the keyboard and the connection interface board with the IR on it where the keyboard plugs in. The problem is on the main board. Any Ideas, someone come across this before?
