after screwing around with it forever,,, it turns out that the problem was almost definatley COLD JOINTS ON THE CAPACITORS NEAR THE VERTICAL IC. for only after er-soldering these has the tv now worked perfectly!!!!!! if you are familiar with the chassis it was C305, 306, 308 and 315 i think

thank you all for your help the greates reward ws all the knowledge gained in doing this while having no frekaing clue what i was doing, and surely if you all saw my solder job you would laugh me into oblivion,

thanks again
