Well, don't replace your HOT, because that isn't causing your picture to "breathe"; it's your regulator. Some of the STR30130 regulation systems have a large resistor in parallel with the regulator, that may have changed value. But I doubt the Sanyo uses this setup, so you need to check the resistors connected to the 30130 regulator as there is a feedback loop to this IC and most likely the resistor(s) have changed value.
