Hi,
This rear projection unit is about 1 year old. Sorry don't have model handy with me. Picture was shrinking a couple of inches on each side, so Sears service was called, as there's a svc contract with them. One guy diagnosed a problem and ordered a couple boards, one was the Main Power Bd, the other sounded like Sych bd. Another guy replaced the boards. Picture was fine after the replacement, but now the bottom part of the picture shakes on all channels. The shaking is intermittent. May go on for 1/2 hr then stop. Any hints, what may have gone wrong? Clearly there's a new problem, but when the svc guy comes, it may not be shaking. Regards, RichK |

As a service tech, intermittents are almost as nice a problem as a root
canal procedure. There are service procedures that the techs can perform when they return short of transferring the set to their shop. It may be prudent to have the set in operation for an extended period of time so it is acting up when they arrive. "RichK" wrote in message . ..
