Byron, Fine on all that, so far so good - next is to check L31, X1, R21, D18, C84 and C85 for good soldering, and make certain D16 and D17 are oriented correctly. If nothing is found awry, I would arbitrarily replace X1 as the first step and after than D16 and D17. Remember that this is just

Don, Well everything checked out, i can't find any fault with the installation of those components. Looks like I need to order some parts, unless you can think of anything else I should check. If I haven't mentioned it, thank you for all of your help and attention. 73, Byron N6UI Don
