i cant thank you enough for your help steve mate! 
Happy to help and it also gave me the opportunity to work on a new(to me) system. I have learn't so many things doing this repair.
You can read a guide a 100 times but when you actually work on a board/system, you learn/remember so much more.
i am getting excited and can nearly see some light at the end of tunnel.
Yep. Definately getting brighter now.
