It's not fixed yet!

But thanks though...

My ramblings - it's hard to see thru someone's eyes, let alone how to tell them what you see - we're working on finding a solution based upon the clues I've gleaned and my own experience with failed diodes. When they blow shorted - a lot of sections stay active and even worse - fight each other for contention. It's hard.

The weakest link, all the way back to the power feeds, sometimes they can blow like fuses and you still have no solution - but then, the after effects - it's sometimes easier to then DVM the trace branches and select modes to find the lowest readings or biggest drop - then you may have something. Shorts show up as ohmic values tested both ways from the switch - but from each of the modes themselves in trace routings - not to ground - it's harder when the diodes fail open - you see less ohmic effect on that particular mode - but which diode?
