hi try this
Thanks all, it's now working. Owe you all - big time. This is as detailed as I can go ( after replacing 4 caps ). The critical part seems to be the delay ( see point 3 ), thanks to Mike for this ( my name's Mike - a lot them around ).
1. Short out the eeprom pins 5 & 6 ( the two legs with the resistors ).
2. Turn on the power. - Instead of the usual noticeable relay click, you get a faint click, the backlight stays off, nothing else happens.
3. Wait around 1-2 secs ( anything longer than this NEVER seemed to work ).
4. Remove the short
5. Press info,menu,mute, then power - In that order individually, one at a time.
6. TV should come on with noise picture and the service menu.
7. Navigate to reset to go back to factory defaults and you're away....
