Too late, I'm good. I picked up a Radio Shack soldering station (I had two other soldering irons, but I wanted something I could control temp on better). Pulled off the back, popped off the board and went at it.

I reflowed all the white connectors at top, and anything across the whole board that looked questionable. Put it back together and I'm good to go. No more blue flashes (although I still get a red flash or two in the first 5-10 minutes as the TV is warming up).

I built up enough confidence doing it that last Sunday I took off the screen and cleaned the lenses. I also went into the factory settings and cut back on the overscan a bit.

I'm on a roll...
