Thanks to those of you that actually had helpful things to say.

I let the TV sit for 48 hours, cracked it open, and went in with the
soldering iron. Now all is well.

Responses like "Don't even try, you suck, you don't have the skills."
aren't helpful in teaching others new things. People aren't born with
these skills and neither were you. Offer some constructive advice to
help people to learn rather than put them down.

Some offered advice intended to avoid risk of death or injury to
yourself. Maybe it wasnt put the best way. Some of us have learnt the
painful way. Some are lucky to be alive today. Some have learnt the
hard way, and they cant give you the benefit of their experience any
more.

Sitting it for 2 days does not ensure discharge and does not mke it
safe to work on, I've drawn nice energetic sparks off a tv after a
week. Dischargng is easy to do.
