Jeff, don`t have anything specific on that set but I believe you can pull up the fault codes on that set and see what the set has entered. This is NOT the same as the service mode so be sure to push "vol minus" in the sequence, Display,Channel,5,Volume Minus,then Power. The screen will now show all fault codes this set has encountered and the number of times they have occured. This might help you figure which circuit is causing you all this grief, hth, Larry E.
