We had more of these sets DOA with cracked boards in shipping than any other warranty failure. The cabinet is so flexible that if you set it down on the middle of the bottom and not on a flat surface, it is likely that you will crack the board. We warn customers about it all the time to avoid getting blamed for breaking them. People set them down halfway into a van or car on the middle of the bottom and break them.

The one today was a KV32FS10 Chassis AA-2H. It was droped off with the symptom of Sound but no picture or HV. Found a Small crack in the main board next to the HOT that had severed the traces to the emmiter and base of the HOT Fixing the cracks fixed the problem. The only reason I mention is that all of Cracks I've seen in the Wega series seem to occur at the point were the main cabinet and back meet. The problems observed are range from dead to odd symptom failures.
