Hi Again, We had another CTC203AX with a Bad Pip board that caused it too:
(F2PIP board) Try pulling the pip board out and turn the set on. It if
comes on the pip board is defective. -Mike

Doesn't the 203 fail to turn on (except to the Service Menu) is any
I2C device is defective or missing? Is there anything on the PIP board
that is in the communications loop? It's been awhile here, folks.

I know I worked on one that the tuner was bad. I removed the tuner, it
refused to come on. I consulted the manual, and determined that it
would turn on to the Service Menu if a communication-required device
was disabled or missing.
