OK thanks. Could you tell me the location please? Is it on the PSU board or the tuner i/o board?

cheers

200sx:
Oh and by the way, I may as well change the PSU caps, which are the usual ones that give probs?

cheers

Right then. Found the eeprom, put a switch across pins 5 and 6 and tried the reset. Pretty sure I followed all the instructions to the book but the picture is just the same as before, so I'm now feeling more grumpy than usual    :03:

If this had been a CRT I would say that the tube was knackered. I think I'm gonna call it a day and get someone local to have a look and tell me whether its worth repairing.

I'm not really bothered if it goes in the skip, - got a new Sony, its just a shame if it only needs a cheap repair !
I just wish I still had one or two contacts in the trade that would give me an honest opinion. At the end of the day I'm like most people, don't mind paying for someone's time but don't wanna be ripped off, and its not really worth spending much on it.

Thanks for all your help.

Dave

 I fixed a 40" one of these before Christmas by swapping out the caps and just reset the eprom but I didn't feel the picture quality was as good as it should have been, mainly too dark. However I'm not a good judge of pic quality on lcd's so just accepted it. So I'd be interested in understanding whether swapping out the eprom would make a difference as logically it shouldn't if the set comes on and retains its settings.
