Samsung TV

I took the back off of my 52a650 lcd and i used a ceramic heater and pointed it in the area where the A/V cables go. the metal cover has holes in it, so the heat went through. In 2 mins, it came on. the skys part and angels sing!!
background- i replaced the power board, and the original didnt have bad caps. it did the same, clicking, not turning on.
I did notice it took much longer when I had the windows open to take in the fall air.
so, my question is, is there a temp sensor, or something along these lines I can replace that would correct this issue, or am I just getting lucky?
it just would make sense if it was a bad temp sensor. i just dont see anything on a parts website in regards to a temp sensor to replace. Guess this is why these issues are above my pay grade.
thank you..jm

agsinstallations,

No apologies necessary.

There is a temperature sensor that shuts down the TV if it gets too warm, or if there's not enough ventilation. It's set lower than when any damage would begin, but it is set.

I'd recommend if you're having a heat issue that powers down the TV, you should consider having an expert check it out. The part may require a technician to order it.
