Also be advised, Rare but it does happen! Occasional the glue that was used
to secure the smd devices becomes slightly conductive, esp after a few years
of operation. This may contribute to your symptoms, however, IMHO: follow
the leads, get some good flux cleaner and clean the area of the tuner,
solder side. Diligently inspect all the connections for the coils located
within the tuner. comparing the top of the board with the bottom will
indicate where the coils come through and are soldered. Do not ignore other
devices and the probability of a small solder "dot" or splash that errantly
is conducting. Good luck, these can be a bugger at times.

Which jumpers are you referring to?

Jumper wires which are backups for the various solder grounds.
Reliability through redundancy. I worked in a Thomson warranty shop,
and it was the manufacturer's standard for the repair. Some maintain
that they are not necessary if the repair is done correctly, just like
some don't think the flexible solder is necessary.
