Lamp matrix problems remain after the row and column transistors test good.
Lamp matrix fault with good transistors: 0.4 ohm resistors
Cause: One of the eight 0.4 ohm 3 W sand resistors at the lower right of the CPU board (R113, R116, R119 and R122, plus R125, R128, R131 and R134) has desoldered itself from heat or fallen off.
Checks
- Inspect and measure each of those resistors and its solder joints.
Fix
- Resolder or replace the resistor.
