Larry, Thanks for the tips, another couple of questions, are these resistors surface mount of through hole? Just wondering what to bring to the customers house. Is this TV hard to get into? I would like to appear at least semi-intelligent when I open it up, :-) David Lessard mrfixit@xxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:techassist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Larry E.

Note that it`s VERY difficult to find, it`s located by the HOT heatsink usually on the right side,behind the heatsink, once you find R3244 (82K) your close they are in series with each other, have seen several of them cause your problem, also causes convergence problems, ie, no video with 3 bowed bars, 1 red, 1 blue, 1 green, Hope this takes care of it for you, Larry Eastman American TV & Electronics Crystal River, Fl. 34428 www.tvjunkyard.com David Lessard wrote: > 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.
