True enough, but explain the channels changing by itself part of the symptom? I did resolder all over and chemically clean the board around all ICs top/bottom and resolder the micro, jungle, eeprom,HOT,scan, connections jacks, TOB,etc. She was a serious smoker and all was stained brown, and the last "tech" left top and bottom shields off the TOB areas. I corrected that. So far, so good. Just letting it cook. Phil Bader George wrote: > > Philip, > > The set might be in shutdown when off and appears to turn itself on.
