Thanks for that information Kevin ! I talked to the other Tech, and he told me the face of Q515 (not Q815) was blown off, so I will check that part of the circuitry out on Tuesday., He also said that he has the manual somewhere and will let me borrow it.\ Thanks again, and Good Luck with your new endeavor !

I wicked-out the Audio Output IC but still get the F61 Error. Can't find any discrete components that are bad. The only thing that the other tech told me was that he had to replace Q815 "Power-Down-Detector", because the face of it was "blown-off" This unit doesn't use a fan, and the power supply uses discrete components instead of an STK regulator IC. I don't have the service manual. Any help appreciated ! Randy J. Evans VCR SERVICE Delta, Ohio 43515 --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Check out the new Yahoo!
