Had some units in the past that had bad disc caps (.01) on data lines near cpu (older Tosh) I believe that the caps were to block a lot of transients from hitting the ic and they would breakdown with either heat or humidity. Something to check, use to change 4 or 5 at a time on some of these sets, easy repair and if not cause of fault ,not a great expenditure and something that eliminates a possible cause of problem peter Kowalik pe.kow@xxxxxxxxxxxx Keith's Stereo Burl On -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Kevin Sent: March 20, 2004 6:24 PM To: techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Toshiba CF3266A TAC9170 remote funtions fail after 30 min of operation Sounds like a bad connection on a voltage regulator. I had one that acted like it was a bad uP, but turned out to be just bad connections that I missed because of the plastic housing around the circuit board.

The complaint given is that any remote control will cease to operate the tv after about 30 min of operation, apparently front panel functions remain unaffected (didn't get a chance to verify yet). Does this discription jog any memorys on where to start, otherwise it is probabbly the solder shotgun approch, change the high failure caps, etc......
