I think I have met my match with this MM102 chassis, the standby 5 is low but will be normal with the 20 some pin flex cable disconnected from the I/O board yet no short or overload exist that I can find. Two other connectors to the I/O board must be connected that go to the tuners otherwise the 5v will be about 2.4 or 2.9 volts depending on which one is not connected. I can hear a relay close and then open when the 5 volts is normal but don't have any idea what that is telling me. Has anyone had this problem or should I just retire early and blame it on Thomson? ************************************************** Jim Myers Since 1972 Telrad Electronic Services Co.
