Hi everyone,

We have a cold one here in NE Ohio, today. They are actually forcasting snow
showers for this evening!

Anyway, here's what I have: an RCA Projection, M# P52955 (Chassis #
PTK195W1B).

When we go to turn this on, the high voltage comes up, then down after 1
second. What is happening is that the RUN/STBY line from the micro is going
low, about 1 second after turn on. This turns off the deflection circuits,
etc.

When this happens, the VCC lines, + the reset on the micro remain stable.
I've unplugged the TV Guide module; the problem remains.

This was a lightning strike. I'm leaning towards changing the micro, the
EEPROM, and U14701 (regulator).

The only thing I've found that is unusual it the main B+ supply; It measures
+170V in standby, ans +145.2V in Run. I don't know if this is normal, since
those values aren't given in the service manual (or I can't find them).

I'm hoping that someone can give me some ideas on this, or point me in the
right direction.
