Hello badcaps forum.

I have a Sony KDL-52Z4500 TV that needs a little trouble shooting. History of the TV: I bought it about 14 years ago. One year ago, I took it off the wall to move to another house. During the past year it sat in its original packaging - even with the thin film plastic bag/cover that it gets shipped in, cardboard box and all.

Turned it on, set up a chormecast on it for her, and all was good for a week running like always (brownie points for me from the wife ).

Hello to everyone already here.

I'm a tinkerer, always pulling stuff apart to see how to fix it/figure out how it works kind of guy. I'm a mechanical/electronics/software engineer - but mostly mechanical. My day job is designing and building cutting edge medical instruments.

Thanks for having me here!
