THESE SETS WILL GO INTO STANDBY IF THERE IS A FRAME FAULT, START BY REPLACING THE FRAME IC WHICH MAY HAVE FAILED DUE TO DRY JOINTS, IT IS ALSO WORTHWHILE REPLACING C454 IN THE FRAME PROTECTION CIRCUIT, 100nF SMD I THINK, CAN CAUSE FALSE TRIGGERING OF FRAME PROTECTION.

If you don't know how to fix it yourself and can't afford to pay someone else to do it, the only other thing I can tell you to do is pray and hope for a miracle. Rolling Eyes

Yes. (they're normally called cold solder joints, bad solder joints, or bad connections)

If that is what the problem is, then probably not.

In this case, probably yes, it would probably be a big job for you to fix.

If just bad solder joint/s are the problem, and the place you bring it to is not crooked or unreasonable, I'd say between 50 and 100 bucks, 75 being average. This is just my personal opinion on a typical solder job that would result in repair of the problem, and based on typical rates at a particular shop that I worked at about 5 years ago. It is not definitive of solder jobs on any set by any shop in general.

BTW, the first thing you should have done after removing the back, is turn it on and tried duplicating the symptom, then proceed to determine if the symptom was intermittent with vibration (tapping/probing), and if so, this would be a good indication of a cold solder joint/s.

About 3 weeks ago, my Panasonic TV started to switch to standby mode quite regularly and, during the times it was viewable, the picture was ‘squashed and grainy’. I got a bit sick of this so I took the back off the TV. At this point, I should explain that I am not a TV engineer! The inside was very, very dusty so I used a soft brush attachment from my vacuum cleaner and gave it a good clean. I looked to see if there were any obvious breaks in the circuit boards but couldn’t find anything.

Anyway, when I re-assembled the TV, by some strange fluke, it worked perfectly! Until a few days ago that is. The same problems started to manifest themselves. By chance, I happened to be socializing and got talking to a TV engineer who was ‘absolutely certain’ that my TV had ‘dry joints’ and that it would need a little soldering work. He said he would do the work for me but, after calling him a couple of times, he’s either too busy or he’s not at work. I get the distinct feeling he really doesn’t want to do it and I don’t want to push him any further.

Thank you for your help.
yes probably dry joints wont cost much to repair easy but boring repair
