Projection TV dies if plugged in and OFF for a while...HUH?????

g an area warm enough to show the problem.

Think that may be something that could be visibly detected? When it's cold the problem wouldn't even exist let alone be detected. Any way to get a layout of the TV components so I could even determine where the stand by power system is????

Thanks!

Solder joint problems..

the stand by power system is most likely keeping an area warm enough to show the problem.

A shroud and freezer spray , one by one so a slow process, starting with elecctros

Yeah, freezing air in a can is about the easiest way to locate the problem. Try it on the solder side of the printed wire board it you can, that is the easiest and fastest way.

For a fix, put a switch in the cord. Or a remote switch that plugs into the wall and the tv plugs into it, and it has a cord from the wall to a switch at the end of the cord. You have a solution so it's a waste of time to try to fix this and also you may make break something else in the process.

I had a leather-topped coffee table for 5 years and finally I overwatered a plant and didn't see the water overflow the saucer, wet the paper napkin and leave the pattern of the napkin in the leather.

It was borrowed so I tried everything to fix it, saddle soap, neetsfoot oil, other things. A year later I needed space and stored it in my friend's basement. 2 years after that, the owner called and wanted the piano back but not the coffee table. 2 years after that, I moved out of Brooklyn, got the coffee-table from my friend, and the leather was perfect.

This story was better before the other guys explained what was wrong with our tv.

Shroud? What's that and how do you use it in troubleshooting?

Thanks.
