What temperature is it running at? I had a newer Panasonic that blew the vertical IC and every part in the vertical circuit was fine. It too, ran very hot, so I decided to add another heat sink to the vertical IC heat sink and lowered the temperature of the heat sink by 20 degrees F. The set has not come back.

Uses a TDA8350Q. Seems to me these IC's run pretty warm, but I'm afraid this one is running a little "tepid". -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada teltek3@xxxxxxxxxxxx ************************************************************************ ***** CHECK OUT THE NEW CHATROOM!
