Ed, Yeah I thought about the filament voltage at first but it doesnt make sense that the menu is still present after the picture goes out. So its only the video that dissappears, what caps are most likely to cause this problem? Are they surface mount? I have no information on this chassis, can you help out? Diagrams, schematics, tips, anything...Thanks a bunch Ed.

Without seeing it, hard to say, but sounds like probably a bad connection on the board for the Filament voltage. Unless it's only the Video that dissapears, then you got some bad Caps to contend with in the Video circuit. -Ed- ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Lessard" <mrfixit@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 02, 2003 4:08 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Zenith PV4661 Projection TV > > Hi techs, > > Has anyone ever heard of this model before?
