csat,
that's one of the (thousand) strangest things I've heard of in my electronics history.
The fact that it works right away means that you have followed the procedure correctly. The fact that it quits after a while means that an internal part has changed value, that is, ain't good no more ( ! ) and needs to be replaced. One of us here might be able to recommend a place to call about it if you were so nice as to tell us in your profile what continent you're on. More localized info is even better!
Hey, Jed, why haven't you published the procedure here in this thread? Maybe it would die if you did -- people would get the answer, except for poor unfortunates such as csat.
EDIT: Further down the information trail now, I SEE WHY SOME OF US WANT THIS THREAD TO DIE.
The person who has the information got it on condition that he not publish it. When I stop to think about this, it becomes obvious: it should not be published so people will be discouraged from trying to work on their own TVs, when they are obviously not properly educated to do so. Or, if they've been dumb enough to pry open Pandora's box, they're not properly educated to close it. I mean, would you set yourself up to install a door if you didn't know how to walk through one?
So if you are in this predicament, find a professional installer or service company. I'll go ahead and say it -- you screwed up. You messed with something beyond your ability and now you have to pay to have someone fix it. If you do it yourself, you might mess up something else.
What will happen if I tweak these three adjustment screws on [insert name of highly technical device]? I know what will happen -- I'll have to pay to have it fixed. Sorry, guys -- pay to have it fixed.
csat, your problem should have made you get a repair person. It's a total fluke that the reset process helped at all, and I should have said that. Quit trying to do it yourself.
