Sounds like something is heating up and causing this problem, I would check on sound board, maybe bad capacitors or amp

These problems are the causes of a dying power supply board.That the board,where the power a/c cord plug into it.Try website like Ebay.com to buy a whole refurbish power supply board for the replacement.

Question edited for clarity. Great question Madeleine. The ones with Screen Saver and Audio are in Preview Mode. If you want to watch them, you have to subscribe.
