FYI- tv is now about 7 years old. after about 10 minutes of the tv being on with no picture- (just the slightly lighter then black blank screen- you can tell it's on, but no response whatsoever), I can turn it off, then back on, and the picture comes back on and the tv is responsive to input. Also, once it is finally on, for about a minute the screen is split in half with a perfect picture on the top and a picture with a white overlay on the other half. Another odd symptom- when I turn it off (after on for hours) you can hear what sounds like electronic plastic parts crackling from cooling down. I smell nothing. I am a smart guy so I want to tackle the problem myself. ANY help would be awesome...thanks in advance!
