Jeff; Sounds very familiar to an old Toshiba problem. Sounds like there is not a constant discharge between the CRT aquadad and Chassis ground. Affecting any functions of the micro, should mean corruption by arc. A while back, Toshiba decided to add a piece of metallic tape over the Micro and route it to a Chassis ground. Now..this is back in the 90's. I have the Toshiba bulletin, but presume it wont help on the Panasonic. Just something to keep in mind. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek@xxxxxxxxx teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx Jeff Farnsworth wrote: > I posted the fix before and didnt see if you had tryed it.
