okay, finally got back to it. I cleaned up the solder bridges and now when I plug it in the logo goes from orange to white without pressing the power button. I still only have 5v standby. Is this an indication of a defective eprom?
.time for an update. after cleaning up the bridged solder joints, i left r727 off and did not replace it because one side went straight to the HDMI chip that I removed. I ordered an eprom and replaced that and still had only 5v with orange logo. so i either should have installed another r727 chip or the main board had other problems. So i found a replacement on ebay for $65 with free shipping It came in today and i intalled it and the tv came right on and is working great.
