I did have coolant leakage several months ago, but after cleaning the
board and changing R14110, the set worked fine for 4 months.  There is
no coolant on the board now.  Thanks.  

I just plugged the set in, the P/S tweaked like it was ready to come on
and found 5 volts on pin 19 of the micro, and 5 volts on pins 5, 6, and
8 of the eeprom.  Then of course as I as measuring these pins the
voltages disappeared and the set was dead again.

Look real close for coolant around the micro-eeprom area.  Hard to see
but
only takes a couple drops to mess it up.  I had one of these 195's that
was
intermittent and that fixed it.  I had to remove the micro, eeprom and
the
keyboard and chipper-check sockets to clean under these components.
Then
the set came on and stayed on but it didn't have any menus because the
eeprom was corrupted.  I replaced the eeprom and got the menu back but
had
to buy a chipper-checker to do the tuner alignment - what a nightmare
that
set was...
