Phil, I had a similar experience with a 53" Zen Proj TV.a few weeks ago. I replaced the sweep board and had trouble getting the green tube to track. It would either be out of focus or not bright enough. I was able to find a compromise that would work. The picture would get very bright on some scenes and have a greenish cast once in awhile. I sent it home and two days later the customer called and said the tv was going black but the sound remained. I replaced the HV block,had the same symptom. Replaced the sweep board again that fixed it. Also the green tube adjusted normally after replacing the board again. You can't be sure of anything any more when it comes to parts.
