Dale, this is a shot in the dark but does apply to the AA-2 chassis, "repeated short of HOT and IC601", check yoke leads inside the connector for burn marks and loose connections or bad crimp,especially the horizontal wires crimp to the terminal, Larry E Larry Eastman American TV & Electronics Crystal River, Fl. 34428 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Lubow" <harristv50010@xxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2005 11:05 AM Subject: [TechAssist] Sony KV35S42(AA-2D) - Snaps & shorts H.OUT, Damper Diode & regulator > I am working on a Sony KV35S42 with a AA-2D chassis.
