When the screen problem appears, checking the U12 DDR-RAM their Vcc voltage input has stable 2.5V. Also check the U41 Vcc inputs also normal and stable. Suddenly touch the U41 heat sink and feel that extremely hot! When use a plastic rod to pressing U41, the TV screen is back to normal! Even pressing the U12 DDR-RAM, the TV screen also back to normal too. When pressing other components, they are nothing happen or change on it. Just U41 and U12 when pressing it, the TV screen problem gone! So suspect the both of these components are dry join and causing the TV screen problem.
