check solder joints on top of screen some screens were sub contracted to a chineese company called chi mai and had inherant defects

The set needs servicing, I would start with looking at the power supply

You may want to try a good, Monster Cable, HDMI cable.

First thing replace any swollen capacitors in the power board.

There is a high possibility that the components over a period of heating and cooling, tend to bring on a problem of dry soldering. So my advice is to check the set for some loose joints that have played on to give you these erratic shut downs or poor performance. The best way to check for loose connections is to tap lightly when the set is powered on, if there is change while tapping then it seems that there are DRY solder joints. Remove main plug, the covers - with caution of high voltage, check for dry joints, and use a good soldering iron to solder all suspected points. Sometimes the fault occurs when the set warms up; if so you can simulate the heat using a hair dryer on the suspected areas, try with the power supply, distribution, Processor controller, driver controllers on the A/V related sections. Also the use a FREEZE-IT spray can simulate the components to cool and show up the fault. It can also be related to WEAK ELECTROLYTIC capacitors as the value can reduce in time.

It's likely the power supply board. I had the same thing happen. I was able to open up the television and locate a couple of blown capacitors on the power supply board. The blown capacitors have a bulging end. When I identified this was the likely problem I was able purchase a kit online with all the replacement capacitors (about 10 total) , basic directions, a small bit of solder, and a solder wick. I only had to supply a solder iron and a screwdriver and replaced only the 2 bulging capacitors. It seamed to work for me. There are lots of videos on youtube and message that show people and discuss how to replace capacitors.If you find blown capacitors...here is where I got the parts. But I wouldn't buy the kit unless you see at least 1 blown capacitor. It might not work but you are only out $10 in parts if it works. http://www.karmtec.com/Search.aspx?Search=LNT5265FX
