PT-53WX54J IC's overheat & TV turns off

I replaced the IC's, & now I get a picture for about 5 minutes.  Just when I thought it was fixed, the darn thing turns off, & the LED blinks 3 times.  I double checked the resistors & my solder job... to no avail.

 Any thoughts?

It's FIXED! I replaced the IC's a second time. The problem must have been either the IC's got damaged the first time, or SANYO IC's are better.
Good Luck to you other folks.
