Fixing my WEGA HD CRT for under twenty bucks, soldered in new chips. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

The two chips failing on the D Board are usually the cause of Sony WEGAs going dead. A shame so many get tossed when the repair even though meticulous, an inexpensive fix.

Smile: In a board meeting via phone conference and things are going swimmingly. Plus, the weekend is here...but I don't give my update for another hour, and I'd rather address my issues sooner than later as I can talk for four hours about my businesses.

Ticked: Wife will be out of town for almost a week. We spend a lot of time together over the weekends, and I'll miss our bike rides, playing croquet, flipping the disc, playing catch, and I'll also miss her helping with the yard work and...ya know. The bouncy bouncy, boing boing, Ah-OOOOOgah!

Smile: It's Friday.

Ticked: Well that phone interview I had Monday... haven't heard back from them about the position since. I guess that could be a "no".

Probably not.
Uh, I deliver pizza for a living. I think I know what a marijuana plant looks like. Also, I would be more surprised if they had a Japanese Maple on their front porch.
