Art; This is the problem on these sets, you change a cap or Q505 plus a couple of other caps,(in my case) and the set will start working regular..but tends to keep showing up at your doorstep a couple of weeks later. I know when I unsoldered a couple of those caps, you got that fishy smell. I even cleaned the board with alcohol, around that area. But this one is back again. -Ed- art bevilacqua The above is the reply to your message dated 8/22/02 10:34 PM > > I just had a CS-21SX1 this past Saturday with similar power on symptoms: > it would come on just after being plugged in, but not the next time.
