Hi guys my latest curbside collection a 50" LGPB2DR (the power cord and remote with batteries in it where at the bottom of a cardboard box stuffed with broken kids toys 
) Anyway powers up sweet then after 10 or so minutes the sound goes. Following Tom's guide (Great job Tom invaluable info ) seems the heatsinks aren't absorbing the heat as they should causing the IC under it to heat up and fail. To test this was the case I opted to point a fan at the two heatsinks and 6 hrs later no problems working great. I know the heatsink needs to be removed and fresh paste is required but without rework station and just a solder sucker and soldering iron it can get messy and then have to replace board ( been there done that ) My question is where on the PS can I tap into 12v so as to utilize a cpl of computer fans which I already have. Yes cheap way out but thats the fun fixing them with parts from the ones that I couldn't any advice is greatly appreciated cheers
