This is 1 of 2 such units I own. It developed a band (approx 10 cm) at the bottom fairly early in its life but otherwise seemed ok.
I turned it on last week and there was no picture but sound was normal.
After reading of similar problems I was motivated to open and examine the set.
There is a blown chip on the buffer board as well as 2 bloated capacitors (1 leaked) on the Y-Main board.
I do not have the level of skill to replace the chip on the buffer even if it is available, so I will be replacing the board.
Is there any reason to believe the Y-main damage is more extensive than the 2 blown caps observed?
