Ron I have a ALEDP276 doing the same thing. I went to the house and brought back the chassis,and found the regulator shorted. Replaced regulator and took it back and it played 4 hours then shut off for 30 seconds then on again then off for a minute then on again, and was still on when customer called. I'm going to get it on saturday,sounds like a bad solder joint in the horizontal somewhere will keep you posted on it.Not sure about the buttons or the menu because I have not seen it shut off yet. al marquardt ampm@xxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ron Price" <ron_tcshack@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 26, 2002 7:30 PM Subject: [TechAssist] panasonic tv ct35g21u aledp278 cutting of and on > > > I believe I have posted this before..We worked on this one before and > changedout theHOT and the Volt Regulator...Now the system, after being in > thecustomers home for a week has decided to shut down for about 10-20 sec. > then back on with the menu mode on.
