General clean up failed.
TV still turns off momentarily and then comes right back good as new.
Happens randomly: some days not at all, others in a few hours and the OK.
TV does not display odd colors, abberations, Very nice before and after
momentary shut down.
The large caps passed visual inspection.
I have an ESR but didn't use it.
There are no stray remote controls in the room.
Any thoughts as to the cause of this?
Thanks for any clues.

I've had this flat screen CRT TV for many years of satisfactory service.
Last night the power relay clicked and the screen blanked for a few
seconds; returned to normal. Repeated a hour later. I'm assuming the TV
went into protection mode. I'd like to think that cleaning dust from the
HV area might solve the issue.
2 questions:
Am I on the right trrack? I'd check for bad caps visually [I have an ESR
as well], etc. but probably would not go much further.
Given the size of the TV I must have prevailed on a helper to get this up
on its table. It is awkward, heavy and difficult for me to move by
myself. I no longer have an available helper [wife has a bad back]. How
do you tackle moving these monsters?
[I may just give it away to someone capable of moving it and replace with
a lighter wieght LED model.]
Thanks for any advice on either issue.
