Well I got an HDM board and a CLM and have tried troubleshooting my machine from this post.
http://www.curtpalme.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=100545&highlight=#100545
The h-fail has gone away, yeah.
But I still have a v-fail.
I don't get anything on the tubes and the v-fail light is coming on.
If the machine has been sitting for a while I don't get the v-fail for awhile but no output.
If I turn the machine off and back on the v-fail light comes on right away.
With my original CLM the light just comes on as soon as I power up the machine.
With the other CLM when I turn on the machine it seems to do a reset and then the v-fail comes on.
The only difference I can between the two CLM's is one chip CLM U16 on the board that does a reset the version is 1.24 on the board that just goes straight to v-fail the version is 1.4.
I think it is the VIM and I had one coming but it hasn't shown up yet. Sad
Does this give anymore information to definitively blame the VIM or not?

Thanks

Have you changed the backplane? I can't see it being the VIM.
