Default Problems diagnosing TV

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm of the mind to try a vacuum,
canned air and some electric parts cleaner, but I'd love some direction
before I electrocute myself. =)

What's the brand and model? Is this by chance a GE/RCA/Proscan? If so then
resolder the tuner shield grounds. Otherwise, look elsewhere for cracked
solder joints. Don't use it again until you fix it, further damage is
likely.


Solder joints on any particular component, though?

Looks like it's an RCA F20631SE.

I think I just got a mild static shock turning the thing around with my
hand near the RCA plugs. I might've gotten the shock off a teddy bear
that's there, but I think it was the TV. Hrm.
