Change the ceramic (little brown jobbies) around the small dip ic. Actually
have seen these cause dynamic problems, thermal or shock related. Thomson
has a bulletin out specific to them on that PCC board.

thanks q14802 was actually still good i think but i changed it anyways
because the bored was slightly darkened underneath it, but your right that
coil i think is l001 on the small pcb is my main problem as this set will
act irratically and i got it to power up by slightly tapping it, i am
going to change the el caps on that board to and hope the gremlin decides
to find a new home!
