I hate these misserable SOB's Thompson realy screwed up when they started buiding these "JEWELS". With the pop then dead, would agree with a bad Flyback, this model list three and you got to pull a number of the original, then the chance of getting a good one is low at best, Have had to replace one three times once to find one that even "rang right out of the box. But one problem you described was the changing chanels problem, this leads to the signal board were the main micro sits, and ofcource there are about four differant ones for that model so you need the AS-### off the old one, then a device called "Chipper Checker" to read the old signal board and transfer the data to the new board or you can count on hours of set up time. Have not seen many problems with coolant leak on these chassis, Guess Thompson just desided there going to leak and built in a damm to keep the coolant off the boards, but have seen more than one set covered in mouse poop because the holes under it are huge. Can't wait for these bastereds to pull this line

DONT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!You have an 'OUT OF ORDINARY' tv situation I have read it before but who can solder a microprocessor? if that's the case, you have to replace the entire board. Don't waste money on anyone who tries to tell you different when you admittedly don't have any idea. Cause in the end, you will be shopping for a new tv.
