EDIT: I received a couple of responses quite quickly, so the TV has found a home.

Anybody have any good ideas on how to deal with this?

I decided to fix 3 things today.

When I removed said tape, a while back, it turned out that when switched to the "On" position, it flickered, obviously not a good connection.Today, I bought a simple ( Read more... )
