OK, I've replaced the cracked resistor pack.  I used 270 ohm resistors 
rather than the 240 ohm that the pack measured out at, but I can't see 
that making a difference.

Still got the same problem.  So - either I've got a gubbed console card 
or I've got a gubbed KDJ11-A.

Anyone got any cards they are willing to sell or swap?
