I have worked on that model but not for that problem. It must be a power supply problem to have multiple symptoms like that. I have the SM in PDF if you need it. BTW, if you pull the chassis, be sure to plug the cables back in correctly or serious damage can occur (been there, done that...but don't tell anyone). John.
