yeah, c427 1000uF. Picture still distorted.
I think I will just take a chance and change the IC again.

Why not break out the oscilloscope and take some measurements?

I'd look at the input at R303 (not IC pin 1), and I'd compare it
against the signal at the current sense resistor, R310. AFAICT, both
should be sawtooths (sawteeth?).

BTW, I believe R310 should be a 1R5 resistor, not 1M5 as shown in the
diagram.

don't have a scope here (yet) so can't do much else.
today I changed the IC again and was rewarded with the horizontal
line. I don't understand why the original IC produces at least a
distorted pic but no replacement has produced anything.
In ahy case I'm losing patience with this set and have other things
piling up, so I suppose it's time to dump it
thanks all
