This set is in an upstairs room of a house that is almost impossible to bring into my shop. Just before the video goes black, the convergence goes bad as well. The sound is constant. The problem happens all the time and then disappears for 6 months. I have tried tapping all over the PC boards with no luck. Lately the set will come on for about a minute and then the video disappears. If the set is turned off for 10 minutes it will then come on again. But when I was there yesterday, it did the one minute thing twice and then came back on by itself and worked fine for over half an hour--the customer said the last time it did that it worked fine for 6 months. This is a tough one! Any ideas? Thanks.
