JVC TV Dead? Help!

   I have a 60 inch big screen JVC TV model# AV-60D502 that I purchased new about 4 years ago. About a year ago it just cut off like you had turned it off. When I tried to turn it on the green light at the power switch would come on then immediatly go right back off. I figured it was dead for good. About 30 minutes later I tried it again and it came back on and played good until about 3 months ago. As before when it kicks off it will come back on in about 30 minutes. Now it is doing this very regular. Sometimes it may be a hour before it will turn back on. Sometimes when it is getting ready to kick off the picture will flicker. I took the back off yesterday to inspect it. It was terribly dusty which I vacumed out. I found 4 seperate fuses which I checked and they all looked good. I looked all over the board starting where the power cable goes in looking for something that appeared to have been hot (brown looking). I did not see anything. Can anyone give me any ideas? I found this site through a search engine and it appears other people have had similar problems with JVC's. One of the blog's mentioned the power supply. Where is this located? Sometimes when you turn the tv on it may play 2 or 3 hours then there are times it will not play 5 minutes without turning itself off. I appreciate any help someone may give me.
