How do the sustain boards look? any sign of cold solder joits, bad caps, etc. You will need to test the voltages at the tset points before and after the problem occur.
You better be sure to dry the boards real good to make sure there are no moistures left on the boards or you will have more damages since we are dealing with high voltages, high voltage and water do not mix.
"IT GETS REHEATED AND COLD, UNTIL IT DOES" That must be new kind of testing, I better tell my firends at Fairchild semiconductor Discrete division that after working there for 10 years we never do that kind of test to make it pass temp test, we reject them the first time it failed. That is real funny.

Screen goes blank aftert 10 mins sound stays on though, wont come on again till been switched off for ages, and then picture still only 10 mins then sounds stays on again

when the TV goes dark, shine a flash light on the screen- hold it very close.
if you see a little bit of the image, your backlight has failed. That would mean you would need to replace the LCD panel.

If you have electronics experience - check the power supply and make sure you are getting the correct voltage to your inverter boards and main av board - also do you see any movement on the screen take a flashlight and shine on the screen - if you can see a dark image on the screen check inverter boards and power first.

thanks,

The main power supply regulator section circuit fault. Either it will be a separate board, or the part of main board. Check and replace damaged component/s at its main power regulator [SMPS] section circuit. Contact any service technician. If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts.

It will be best to replace the power supply regulator board as card basis rather than making "Surgery" to it; which usually will make loss for both money and time. Even though you can make it right, it will cost around an amount equal to the cost of a new board; including the cost of (spare parts + service charge) More to say, most of the spare parts to it will be difficult to get from open electronic spare part market. This is true to most of the flat panel TV power supply boards; irrespective of its brand and screen size.

Screen goes blank when first turned on, have to keep restarting m

Hello,

If you turn the monitor off then about 1020 sec turn it back on and have a picture for five sec again it sound like the power supply in the monitor. but if that did not solve the problem, the picture board on your monitor is bad, since it goes off after few seconds and the power led or button is on, it means the picture board of your monitor has developed fault and will need to be replace.

I advice you replace the picture board on the screen of your monitor to solve the problem of the blank screen.

Take care.

Picture & sound go on & off every sec, red light blinks 5 times

helloFive blinks - AKB circuit (automatic kine bias), the timer/standby indicator blinks for about 30 seconds then goes to the self-diagnosis function. Something is wrong with the video. Check video out, Q705, 732, 761 and other components on the C board, also check Q218, 219, 220 on the A board. In addition, unit could be in IK blanking, try turning up screen slightly.
