I tried that today. I even changed the eeprom with no luck. I'm very close to scrapping this set anyway. My fuse is getting shorter and shorter on these modern sets and I sure don't feel like changing that 64 pin IC again. In fact, I hurled a 27" CTC203 with some sort of weird shutdown problem today. When I pressed the power button, all I got was brief HV and "click click, click click, click click". The B+ checked OK and I disconnected the flyback to see if it would stay on and at least talk, which it did not. After that, I said the heck with it and air mailed it onto the pile. Personally, I liked it before the days of all those shutdown / fault protection circuits. Then, you could actually see a symptom on the screen and/or see smoke and then you knew where to go.
