Harry, Just to add to Jorge's good advice. Bring the HV splitter, but first check or replace the following: C4102/2.2@100, C4104/15@63, C4108/ 47@50, IC4101/TEA2261/200419, Q4101/200165/ SGIF461, and CR4118/164590. I'm sure Jorge meant CR4118, not CR4418. Just replace that one. It may check OK, but break down under load.
