Tiny surface-mount capacitors near the processor short out, dragging down the 1.2V core voltage rail. Fix: Use a thermal camera or freeze spray while injecting 1V into the rail to find the overheating, shorted capacitor and replace it. Safety Disclaimer

The TV gets stuck displaying the boot logo indefinitely. Fix: Desoldering the 8-pin SPI flash chip, flashing it with a clean binary dump via an RT809H or CH341A programmer, and resoldering.
: While some models are "cold" and may not require one, it is generally recommended to use an isolation transformer when servicing the power supply to protect both the technician and the testing equipment. Part Replacement
