Re: LG 42LG30 LCD. repeat backlight inverter board overheat, not inv board

I *think* I figured it out. Was fairly sure too hot as back of tv (with cover back on) felt hot at area where inverter board is. Took another look at old inv board and saw two thick rubber double-sticky strips on underside, and did not remember seeing same on new one. Took tv apart again, took out new inverter board, no strips so moved the strips from old to new board in same spots, and cleaned all the smoky residue from the old board from above board on metal inside and from inside the back cover. Feels...

I have a 42" LG LCD model 42LG30. The upper right capacitor for the backlight inverter board burned up/incinerated so I replaced backlight inverter board. TV works but can smell and feel new board overheating also. I'm not good w soldering irons so prefer to replace whole board(s)/PCB(s). Is this more likely to be the power PCB/power board? Or the Main Board/Main PCB?
