Hi Guys, this Sony has a shorted Q801 (2SC2555), I only have a partial schematic but I can`t find anything else shorted other than this transistor, Q811 is good, D802 is good, no shorts on 115v line, this is the chassis that has the "N" board on top of the "D" board so it`s impossible to run the set once the N board is removed unless you of course have the "cable extenders" that Sony will sell to you for a small fortune. I can`t seem to get the members area to accept my username and password so I can`t check those files, seems strange just this transistor would short, anybody run into this before? tia, Larry E Larry Eastman American TV & Electronics Crystal River, Fl. 34428 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Login Problems?".
