Strange Startup Issues, not capacitors, video and pics included.
Hey all,
I am starting a new thread now that I have finally compiled more information and can provide you all with photos and video.
Here is video of the issue:

On startup, especially when the tv is cold (not recently used). It will take multiple times to get started. Usually I cannot stop this process. I cannot turn it off or stop it when this process is going on. It will try to startup, not work, turn itself off, restart and try again. Problems that arise range from no picture (all black screen), to loud screeching static, multicolored lines on the picture, picture just looking "off". After anywhere from 2-5 minutes of this and it will just startup and work correctly one of the times.
I previously have changed out the capacitors about 9 months to 1 year ago, because of the tv having trouble starting up, but these symptoms are different. I have opened it up and checked the capacitors and they appear to be ok.
At this point, I am at a loss. I would love to figure this out, so I am looking for help and guidance.
I read a comment once about checking the 3.2V regulators, and I am not sure what those are, or how to check. So I have not done that yet.
Photographs of the back of the TV are on Photobucket.

To clarify, no recent fall damage, dropping or inclement weather/moisture exposure. Just normal use. This problem started off slowly with occasional issues and only taking one time to startup, and now it takes up to 5 minutes to startup.
Is this a good question?

Pete, did you swap out the board? Did it work? I was in the middle of swapping out all capacitors (even though they all look good) when I saw your thread.
