I plan on pulling of the back cover today to see if any caps in the PS are
bulging. Maybe check with an ESR meter as well. As far as sound, the sound
went out shortly after I bought the TV a good 5 or more years ago but
since I have surround sound, I never bothered to do anything about it. The
set is very heavy and requires 2 people to move it.

If this is an ESR capacitor problem, does heating the caps up cause ESR to
lower?


Probably, but why even bother to check ? If your ESR meter says it's bad at
room temperature, then it's bad, end of ... Not having had any sound for
five years doesn't help with remote NG diagnosis, as it's quite an important
indicator as to what exactly is and isn't working when it's wrong
