 Hi Dennis,
 I cut 12410 and got 12 + 5 volts back, set did not turn on. Floated pins
3+4 and got 5v at pin 4, missing 5v at pin three. Started to trace and
voltage would come back. Bending , hitting, and freezing board doesn't seem
to affect the 5v in one way or another. I checked the K20 area and it seems
solid. Have you ever had missing data/clock due to bad convergence board?
Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
 Regards  Jonas

you'll have to trace these lines and isolate them until you get the 5 volts
back. Note: If someone has previously worked on the tuner then I would start
there and check coordinates K20. This is an area where the data and clock
line make a 90 degree turn out from under the shield. This trace is so close
to the shield it sometimes gets touched with solder in the process of
reattaching the shields for the tuner.

Chipper shows error code "16" ,run or data lines clamped to logic "0".I do
get Stnby voltages of 16 + 33 + 140+ -12 . Whats missing are the +5 and +12
from U14701.Pressing power, pin 19 of u13101 tries to go high but only
reches 1.3v The outputs of U14701 at Stnby ~ 1v at power on may reach ~3v.
I've changed U14701, U14101, Q14101, U3101, and the T4 chip. Also checked
y13101 and its associated circuitry. Substituted Gemstar fom another like
model and that checked out ok.
