dell w2600 dead?

i have found that my tv works if it is at a very low temperature

if you unplug it and leave it a good 12 hours in a freezing room it usually works

dont know if this indicates a cold solder joint or a bad component but it is definatly temperature related on my set

I had my brothers tv somewhat fixed for a couple minutes. I pushed power button and heard a click. Pushed again and nothing. Pressed and hold for 5 or so seconds and heard the other click. Done that a couple times and the blue power light came on and went back off. So I did it a couple more times and the light came on and stayed on and I had picture and sound. I had the back of the tv off and listened to the main board. Somewhere around the big 450 cap in the center of the board there was a buzzing noise. While fiddling with it a little, I blew the board. So the problem is somewhere around that 450 capacitor.

from what i have figured out so far it is in the signal board
i swapped boards back and forth and this is how i have found that the issue is not the power board.
At least on the units i have worked on
