I have a VS5043 Mitsubishi that has random shutdown. There isn't any flaw in the picture to indicate what circuit to look in. It can shut down in a couple of minutes or play all day. Checked for poor solder joints and found very few bad. Tried heating and cooling and no help. ESR'd the caps and didn't find any bad. However, I can lower the brightness no minimum and it doesn't shutdown. I suspect an ABL or shutdown circuit problem but I have no print to trace it out. I didn't find any tips with this type of problem. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.
