GP342 is prob the chassis # G342 is also shown on the label
on the tuner. Still no joy on a Sams. I know this was used in
27" + sets. Monday I will comb through my Sams & see if I
can come up with a similar chassis. I have done them & there
was something abt the power supply I just cant remember.
Also note the vert looks like its been running hot. See
discolored board in front of FBT near TAC switches.
For now the HOT is good. 99.9% of failures is total short E-C-B.
1) with it still out be sure there is no short on the PCB E-C.
2) put the HOT back in. Hang a meter in on HOT E-C DCV.
turn set on & see if the V comes up to 130 +- before
shutting down.
This will tell a lot, let us know & we will take it from there.......
