Is this normal? Sony KDL-V40XBR1

[savageone]

The attached pictures (front and back view) are of the T-con board from my Sony Bravia KDL-V40XBR1. On the top side there is a silicone like grease oozing from some of the components and on the corresponding back side there are some high temperature markings.

The angle of the board had to be just right for the markings to show up in the pictures. Is this confirmation of a defective T-con board?

Thermal paste. Probably normal. This is fun!

That looks like flux and heat marks from an IC replacement but was never cleaned up.

Ok what are your symptoms and give us clear pictures of all boards and layout.
