see thread below: was shutting down,fixed vert,now no tuner op. Unsolderd the eeprom chip IC346, powered the set up, and it now works OK. Note the vertical is a bit narrow, and probably several other parameters wrong, as the set is working without an EEPROM, so is working under "default" settings.At least I know I must reinitialise, or at worst replace the eeprom.Is it possible, and wise to reinstall the old,and enter service mode to record the orig. settings for when I wipe out the chip to start over?
