Another note.....there are only 3 different codes for this TV #1 B+ OCP is 2 blinks. #2 No Vert is 3 blinks #3 IK failure is 5 blinks So I'll bet the 5 blinks is covering any and all other problems, SINCE your B+ OCP and Vert Out signal are passing their tests. BTW did you upgrade IC 702's coils/resistor to keep it from blowing up???? Hope so....you could have shorted it and now it's shutting down because it's bad. Damon B Telrad Electronics.
