Thank you - these sound like places I want to investigate, but my knowledge of components inside a TV is limited. There's a lot of wires, so I'm not sure which ones to look at or what to look for? I'm guessing that some wires shouldn't be too close to others because of interference?

As for capacitors, I'm wondering why not suspect them as they should be pretty old by now?
