samsung ps42q97hdx, strange problem

[finntricky]

this tv i got showing a strange problem, where you turn the tv off and after half an hour or so the screen will light up, and then go dim, there will be no display, just a glow from the screen, it will stay like that all the time untill you turn it back on, then the screen goes black/turns off, then comes back on as normal,as if you was turning on to watch tv, anyone got any ideas.

Ok do you have a hair drier ? Try heating the boards to see if it speeds up the failure mode.
