Dave, band switching is done with U17504, pin 14 should read very low (less than a volt) on channel 51, change to channel 50 and voltage should jump to 11.5 volts, If no change check Q17504, R17513 and R17309, check solder in this area carefully, hope this helps, Larry E Larry Eastman American TV & Electronics Crystal River, Fl. 34428 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robinson Electronics" <RobinsonElectronics@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, July 10, 2005 4:16 PM Subject: [TechAssist] GE 46in.
