Well, I thought I had this liked, but problem is back. Just has no RF Input at all with black Screen when it fails. I replaced the 33KResistor anyway near tuner although it tested ok - was R104 I think, Defluxed the heck out of the PCB....resoldered all the IC's, and IF Coils and other items that look RF Related....still have problem. Thought problem was Intermittent - Still not sure. If I put the unit on after its unplugged a While, the problem is usually there. If I flex the board a little on the end hanging off the plastic Tracks, the Signal comes on fine. Thing Is I cant seem to make it go off by flexing the board some more. At one point I had it all buttoned up, playing fine ready to release to Cust, and I tilted the TV backwards to get something under it, and it quit. It did seem to put pressure on the RF Connector on the REAR a little when I did this....but after moving that around in every direction I can think of - Still cant make it come or Go....? Any ideas? The Connector is part of one of those Can Type assemblies that have a Cap inside, and an RCA Jack wire on the other End. There is a 33 MEG Resistor in series with the Shield on this assy which I mentioned earlier. Apparently, the Tuner Ground Conflicts severely with earth ground as I discovered before....hence the Resistor. Could the Resistor be dropping the Signal too much? I did replace it anyway with another 33 MEG Just to be sure. Would it be safer to go lower, perhaps 10 MEg?

Sure enough, that was all was wrong. I did find however after I resoldered the Entire Tuner, I again had Stations, but they all went out again after playing about 4-10 mins. I decided to Flex the Main PCB, and sure enough, my stations Came back. I resoldered the Jumper Wires on the PCB that Lead to the Tuner Pads, and also after tracing them to their destination, found they were going to the Main Micro, which looked like it was badly soldered. After all the resoldering, I have a Solid Repair.

Set dead now , just has Relay Click. R601 is a Square Ceramic Standoff Resistor With Markings: 3R3 , reads totally open. Its in line with the Relay contacts..and is hopefully all that is wrong. Can anyone Verify this is about the correct value I am guessing : 3 Ohms , 3 Watts?
