Definitely change the STK2250, only about $10 from www.pacificsemi.com Not to presume that this will fix your problem, but a good start. You need a minimum order of $25 to order from them, so you may do better trying to get it locally. -Ed- Tel-Tek Electronics Ontario-Canada TechAssist Member 2003.
