Re: Philips Plasma cutting out when hot

Check that the diodes are screwed down tightly. One loose screw and
you'll get these symptoms.

Also try putting a scope on the common-cathode end of the 3.3V diodes.
You may have one or both diodes failing.


Also try jumpering each capacitor in the 3.3v supply one at a time.
You're likely to find the problem in seconds that way.
