Hi from Oz, some years since last posted. This set is 3 years old and had almost no use in that time. Brought it out of hibernation a month ago. Problem came up shortly after. Set is always turned off at pp when not being used. Turn it on and logo comes up then picture but after a few to around 15 minutes the picture start blinking irregularly for a time then go completely off, backlights remain on. Leave it and after 10 - 20 minutes picture will come back on and sometimes do the same thing again but then will stabilise and run normally for hours until switched off.
I have pulled back off and checked the single combined board and tcon - no sign of any problem in caps etc. Pulled and cleaned all connections/ribbons to from tcon and changed picture settings in menu to standard with low noise and DLC off after doing a reset.
This seemed to fix the problem as all normal then for 4 days until problem came back
Now here's something strange - I can sometimes cause the set to sit up and act properly by giving it a firm slap on the back !
Read somewhere that these sets are made in India, sold by Aldi in Ireland, and probably have other brand names. Info is non existent.
I gave up working on sets about 3 years back and now no tools where I am not even a multimeter. So any ideas or experience on these sets ?
