Hi,

I searched Google some more and found an older post which indicates a
faulty capacitor like you said, C455. The author said it's a very
common defect, especially for circuits with IC LA78--. That's exactly
what I have in my TV! so I used a hair drier to warm up the entire area
(IC and may other components) and the defect almost goes away. Then I
used a canned air spray (upside down) to cool down the capacitor c455.
The defect came right back! it looks like the cap is the problem
indeed. RadioShak does not carry it, I have to check see if I find one
at work tomorrow or if I can take one from some old VRC or whatever I
might find laying around. I need a 35 microF / 100 V electrolitic.
Damn, I can't find one right now...

Thanks!

Are you sure it isn't 100uF/35VDC?

Not the same model, but...

You won't likely find one in a VCR chassis, but, if I'm right, almost
any TV chassis will have one.33uF is the standard value, not 35. Both
35 and 100 are standard voltage values.
