That is weird , the cover is for cooling the board. Was it stuck on the cpu/gpu? Maybe it pulled the gpu/cpu up.

Dont let it run to long without the plate though. IT needs cooling!

Btw with the can of air , hold it upside down and spray. You will see it will freeze.
Always do this with the tv OFF.

Wait for the symptoms to occur and freeze the cpu/gpu ( depends on the problem ). Turn on the tv and see if its gone. ( Untill the freeze is gone ).

One of the 3 little square blocks of ?rubber? was partially stuck to one of the 3 large black squares. Just in the center- a small circle of it.

I didn't know it was for cooling- so I let it run like that all night- no symptoms.

I turned it back on this morning, and after about 5 minutes it rebooted once- but has not done it again since.

If I have to turn it off before spraying the cold- then that is useless unless it is showing the green dots which it hasn't done in many days.

Why? Because the only other thing is it either immediately rebooting itself or shutting off and not coming back on- but it will come back on if I unplug it. So if I have to unplug it to spray- it will come back either way so it shows me nothing.

Left it on for a few hours this morning- nothing other than that first initial reboot.

Came home this afternoon- it has been on for about 1.5 hours- nothing whatsover.

I was actually just tapping on various bits on all the different boards just now trying to get it to do something wrong- nada.

UGGH.

Problem is definately on your mainboard. It can be that the heatsink is causing the bad connection between gpu/cpu and mainboard.

Dont tap anywhere besides mainboard , this because of the high current in the other boards.

My personal recommendation based on the rarity and value of both the TV and board itself would be to send the board to PTS electronics and let them work there magic. Rather than risking further damage trying to reflow the chip with a heat gun or other method. They will guarantee their work as well.
