I have an RCA P56938 (PTK195S16P chassis) with excessive brightness most of the time but no retrace lines. Chipper Check revealed error code of 136 indicating Y Pr Pb processor fault and Thomson Tech Assist recommended that I replace the Y Pr Pb board (part# 249116) which was done without any difference. I now have the chassis (light box) in the shop and have also replaced the signal IC (ref# U16201 - part# 241266 - LA7612N) which right after replacement was fine and then within a couple of hours went back to the excessive brightness again and has remained so. I have tried tapping the boards, heating, freezing, and resoldering the plugs with no success. It is the same regardless of any or no input. Not quite sure where to go with this one so I thought I would ask if anyone has been here before?
