Sometimes that middle card can be the culprit. Give this a shot. Good luck -Monte  |  IP: Logged Mike Moreno Expert Film Handler Posts: 200 From: culiacan sinaloa mexico Registered: Jul 2008 posted 12-29-2009 08:59 AM                        i did that to but no thing mike moreno  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Open it up, pull the ribbons (one at a time) and burnish off the contacts and re-insert. I know DTS, at one time, had a kit to change out the ribbons.
