Use circuit cooler on suspected areas after warm up to recreate the

Good idea, but keep the cooler spray away from the CCFL lamp(s). I
sprayed one while it was running and instantly cracked the tube. I
don't know if this is a one-time problem, or is typical, but it might
pay to be careful. Maybe a hot air gun (on low heat) when the panel
is cool, or just massaging the circuitry looking for intermittents,
might be equally productive.


I used to spray the cooler on a Q-tip swab and apply the swab to a
suspect component I wanted to chill.

or you could rig some short of paper shield to keep the spray away from
other parts.
