I know that Mr. Lee did not supply any technical information but he did
supply enough for someone that has seen these symptoms to recognize them
immediately. I too have a June 2002 unit and it has the exact same
problem. I also have some experience in troubleshooting televisions but
why would I want to troubleshoot this particular problem when it seems
that this is a common fail and hopefully someone has came up with a fix
for it already. I cannot speak for Mr. Lee but I know for certain that is
exactly what I am hoping for. If someone does know of a fix for this
problem I would greatly appreciate any and all information that is
provided.
