• Goes into protective switching. (extract of circuit diagram attached)
• Coloured tinge in picture.
• Slight raster distortion at top or bottom of screen, depending on defective diode.
• The PSU runs continuously.
• After clicking and tripping a few times, power supply remains blocked in standby at switch on.
• Occasionally there is no light at all.
• No colour. (part of circuit diagram displayed)
