I went on a service call this morning for a Mitsubishi VS-4506R that has no audio only from a cold start for anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes, regardless of input source. The picture is great and once the audio comes on, it stays on. I used the heat gun in the vicinity of IC101 and the sound came on almost immediately, but using freeze spray anywhere could not get the problem to reoccur. The set would have to be off for some time and again the same process was repeated upon startup. Has anyone experienced this (and it is not a solder connection problem)?
