Helping assist a local shop, heres what he says: Dead,storm. Brought up running with replacing: STRGxxx reg IC and shorted diodes D812 zener,D055 5.6v zener,D821 zener ,D820 1n914. Now... After above fix, it works perfectly,except after it's on a minute or more, the "Action" OSD ramdomely appears. He can press the remote to clear it alright but may appear again . He did replace the micro and eeprom and has a good 5V stby. I suggested removing the "action" button from the chassis incase of leakage. He did so, but the menu "Action" OSD still appears randomely.
