I realize now my folly in purchasing this DLP set in non-working state; but I thought I would be able to fix it and have it be a fun project. Luckily I'm only 70$ into it and some spare time right now.
The system powers on fine, displays fine (well, was...I need to fix the DNIe chip again now I think after I've messed with it; that won't be a problem) for about 3-5 seconds. The picture then freezes on screen (tested with static on the cable input and both AVI 1 and the HD composite using a xbox 360) as well as any audio, and then restarts. Sometimes the set plays the startup chime everytime it restarts, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes it stops making the chiming sound after 10 minutes or so of me ignoring it while it restarts over and over.
There are no lamp/standby/timer lights at all flashing on it, it just gets mad at itself and restarts.....
Thanks ahead of time for any assistance, I've read through most every thread in the first two pages of this forum without finding anything too similar...
