I acquired this set as a duffer, with the intention of fixing it.
I have spent quite a while on it so far, and two days ago, thought I had cracked it (not literally thankfully)
The fault is like this. Apply power. Standby led comes on RED, pretty much nothing else happens.
I have been over the PSU board and measured the outputs, they are all good and even look clean when viewed on a scope. I have measured (most if not all) of the supplementary supplies as generated on the two small signal boards and they too appear with spec.
So, i convinced myself that the fault was in the primary SSB as the second one was allegedly only a freeview tuner. I found a 'near as damn it' second hand SSB & fitted it.
Bingo, it sprang to life, the LED turned green and the TV asked me what language i would like to use....... all fine you would think........2 days later and i now have a remote with an OK button on it (long story, don't ask), i plug it back in & blow me if it's doing exactly the same as it was.
So basically, it's been having a nap for a couple of days, off power, and now it doesn't work again.
Someone, please suggest something while i still have most of my own hair! I hate faults like this!!
