The TV started occasionally crackling and popping through the speakers. This went on for a couple of weeks then started to get worse. Finally the set started shutting off and restarting on its own. I opened it up and looked around but did not see anything obvious. While the set was open it started its sound issues and I pressed on the IC pictured and the cracking and popping instantly went away. The set worked great for a few days the started the same problem again. Pressing the same IC had no effect this time. This is my first time working with SMD IC's and I failed miserably. I ended up damaging several mounting pads to the point that the board is no longer usable. I purchased a used main board with the same part number, installed this, hit the power button. The green led on the front of the set came on for about 10 seconds then turned off. The screen flashed momentarily. This happens every time you attempt to power on the unit. I cannot find much info about problems with this set. I am assuming because it is not very old. Has anyone experienced similar problems with this model?
Thanks
