This one came from a good source but its still a generic.Before I order another one,has anyone here come across this problem before?Maybe a bad lytic!The flyback is a 95-4134-19 I would apreciate any tips or idea's.Thanks. Mando Birdie's TV & Electronics Casa Grande, AZ PS What are the most common failure parts on this bd.Maybe I still have another bad one besides the 3 that I replaced. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - This Email List is Public.
