Jason, Try freeze spray on the voltage regulator IC, when the unit shutsdown. Have had some problems with this IC in some of the slightly older Quasar/Panasonic's, that cause the set to be playing fine and then just shutdown, also try heat on the IC when it's playing OK. Haven't seen any of the newer chassis's yet, so don't have much more info for you.

Customer says it plays sometimes all day and then all of a sudden it goes out and you cannot turn it back on unless you unplug it. The customer says it will do this every ten minutes after that. However, here in the shop it did it once in an hour and am still waiting for the next time. Needless to say I can't sit here with a meter in hand waiting. > > I was hoping someone ran across this before or might know atleast what circuit to monitor. I don't believe it is high voltage unless the circuit is triggering for no reason. Does anyone know if this set will stay in a hard shutdown (have to be unplugged to be turned back on) if it is in Xray shutdown? > > Anyone run across intermitant trouble like this before? > > Thanks in advance > > Jason > Mouton's Electronics > **************************************************************************** * > The Tech Address Book: > http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/contact.html > Add a Repair Tip Here, or Change/Remove your Email Address: > http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/main.html > Lost Password: > http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Lost your Login Info?". > Email Archives: > //www.freelists.org/archives/techassist/ > ***************************************************************************** The Tech Address Book: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/contact.html Add a Repair Tip Here, or Change/Remove your Email Address: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/main.html Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Lost your Login Info?".
