I had this TV misdiagnosed from the start! I found a bad connection on Q181 which supplies 13.9 volts to other circuits, probably the uP. This transistor is found in the horizontal section but is part of the power supply. So far on test it is working fine--it is very possible this one bad connection had caused all my various symptoms that made it look like it was the microprocessor. Oh well, live and learn.

I believe this was one of the many symptoms that I had before I ordered the uP. I replaced the new uP with the old one with the same symptoms. Does anyone have the schematic for this beast? I am trying to locate the data lines to the uP.
