My Pioneer big screen is acting up. There must be a loose connection somewhere, but I am not sure where to start. As this thing is close to 10 years old I hope to get a few more months out of it.
When watching TV, I hear a pop and the screen goes blank. For a while, once it "rested" a bit, it would come back on. As expected this has increased in frequency. I took the back off and found that if I strike PCB holder, it comes back on.
I have read where folks re-solder all the connections on these TVs. I think that I must have a loose component somewhere. I am not an electrician by any means, but am comfortable with soldering.
Would it be advised to remove the board and touch-up all the connections? Are there any tricks or gotchas to doing this? If I take it in somewhere, I'm sure I'm looking at $5-600, I'd rather use this on a new TV when I'm ready.
