NEC LCD TV LNT-30CW no colour

I was given this defective LCD TV. It had no working backlight. I located a faulty transformer, one of 8, and replaced it. Backlight is working now.

However, the only way to get colour is when I use the component inputs. I don't believe the 2 faults are connected, in fact I don't even know if the colour problem could be fixed by setup. I got no service manual.

Has anyone out there an idea where I could start?

Cheers

Tony PS:(I am running the unit on an temporary PSU. The original PSU was missing (24V 6A) and the one I ordered on eBay (China)had the 4 pins wrongly connected, believe it or not! Rotated by 90 deg. Lucky it just shorted and didn't reverse the voltage...)

Have you checked the 4.43MHz crystal (or 8.86MHz)?

Have you tried feeding the TV an NTSC signal (from a region 1 DVD) via the composite inputs?

The thing has a big 144pin VSP9427B chip "Color Decoder and Scan-Rate Converter" from Micronas which is clocked by a single 20.25 MHz crystal.

don't have such a beast...

Thanks anyway. It's not commercial, so I am using only the component inputs for now.
