Happy Holidays!
thanks for the info. Any likely area's?
Some web searches have mentioned this
symptom in association with the "fop chip".
However, I've yet to discover what this is,
or even whether it's a red herring.

I had a professional servicer, Sony authorized, at
the house (for some other problem) who professed
ignornace of this problem even after I showed it to him.
Needless to say, I wont be using him again.
