Hi all,

I made some progress on my 2001. After hours of trying to understand the
workings of the video system and checking almost every pin with my
oscilliscope I found a wierd signal. There was a (digital signal) that had
three levels GND, 2,5 Volts and 5 Volts. This was the vertical sync
signal. I disconnected all the pins on the IC's in this signal and
connected them with wires so it didn't use the PCB. And yes video is
restored. Now I'm gonna search for the short.

Results on my page:

Greetings Richard
