I know, I know...small signal module..or the convergence amps. This set came in dead. It seems some little critters made a home inside this set and one of the shorted 7301, one of it's diodes and it's fuse. I replaced these parts, then set would come on, chirp. It would fire up with 1518 disconnected. SSM problem, right? Well, I replaced the SSM and had the same problem. I tried the convergence signal module and SSB in another set and that set fired up fine. With the new SSM in this unit, I had the original problem..only for a few seconds..then it went dead. Found no drive on connector 1510 caused by a faulty HOP panel...I replaced this panel and am back to the chirp..but still does start with the SSM disconnected... I am suspecting the new SSM took the HOP panel out and still has problems... Has anyone received any bad SSM? The original module, I replaced the convergence chips, checked the audio IC..but it was still dead. I would replace the convergence chips on this new module, but if they aren't the problem, I'm afraid of no getting credit on this board... Advice, please? Thank you.
