I was gifted a 46" plasma TV that had a problem where it would occasionally not turn on. Sometimes it would take 10-15 tries before it would turn on.
Reading up on it, it looked like it was a firmware issue where one of the boards was being given too much power. So I updated the firmware and it in the little I've tried it, I haven't had that problem.
But in my checking it out to see if there were any blow capacitors, I think I may have caused a problem. The are pixel color shifts going on semi-randomly, based somewhat on color. Play a movie and it doesn't show up that much, but web pages make it more visible.
My guess is that one of the data cables has a trace or two that isn't making good contact. I'm planning on taking the back off again and cleaning all the contacts and then re-seating them.
Does this sound like the proper course of action, or should I be looking somewhere else?
