Hey gang,
Not a regular, but a couple of years back you folks were a huge help in getting a couple of discarded 19" LCD monitors with bad caps repaired. (Worked like a charm, monitors are still in service!) I found a Sony 32" LCD TV (model number's in the title) on the curb near my house. Oftentimes finds like these are broken for good, but just as often they can be repaired or rehabbed. When I got the TV home and turned it on, I was delighted to see that it powered right up! I was less delighted to see how it handled DVD video and audio (video in link):

As you can see, the TV displays the DVD audio and video fine, but with a steady flickering and popping. I'm no expert, but I did some googling and reading, and it sounds like the issue here MIGHT be the power inverter board. I'm _just_ handy enough with this stuff to replace that item, I think, but I want some feedback from folks who are a bit more experienced.
Any ideas on the issue here? Inverter board? Capacitors? Or something more pervasive and difficult to fix. Thanks as always for any suggestions!
