Check Thermister, and also be sure to ask if they have it setting next to
anything large that is metal or any large stereo speakers near the tv, or
have a Satellite box ontop the tv (Actuator p/s transformer can form a
magnetic feild) or kids playing with the tv with magnetics (unlikely), maybe
even a crack on the PCB or loose plug on the deguassing circuit. I've seen
many things outside of the set such as these above be the cause. You'll find
it but it may take some asking questions or a bit of further
troubleshooting.
