At the top it does say what channel it's on but it is in red also. I have replaced several parts to get it to this stage of running. The flyback, U13101,U13102,U11600 and U16201. If I short pin 33 of U16201 I do get a black and white picture to come on the screen but the guy at RCA tech line told me that the eeprom was bad but I replaced that and it did not help. I don't have the schematic for this so I am just shooting in the dark can anyone help me.
