New member Username: AzriderPost Number: 3 Registered: Jan-06 | Just to provide closure. I took off the 20 or so screws to remove the rear panel. Only saw one fan, and when I taped the interlock switch and turned on the TV, the fan was rotating just fine. Also no dust or dead bugs inside --all pretty clean after a year and a half of use. I didn't really do anything, made sure that connectors were well seated, wires weren't damaged, and there were no obstructions to air. Put it back together, and it hasnt' shut off for over a week. Guess a connector somewhere was the problem. No idea which one, but the big D type connector that goes up to the lamp is my main suspect. |
