Jorge, Pull the IF can and replace the two 22uf caps, C21 and C22 I believe the locations are.

The OSD remains, sound remains, and it happens only with the tuner, the inputs video 1 thru video 3 have no problem at all, so the problem seems to lie in the video if / video switch. I have no schematics, just had to bring the main board from the customer's home, I am afraid I will have to work blind. No hints anywhere for that problem, except for newer models with separate if box, which this one hasn't. Any clues/hints/tips will be greatly appreciated.
