Just concurring about the moisture buildup in compressors. Though I did use mine on the television about a month ago. Our 27" was doing wierd stuff, mostly just turning itself off after a few minutes. I guessed it was overheating, and since they are largely throw-aways nowadays that cost more to repair than to buy - I figured I'd have nothing to lose by "going in."

So I hauled it out to the barn, took off the back, and blasted it with air. Lots and lots of dust came out of certain parts. Plus I straightened out a few things that looked bent. (Little electrical components on the boards that were nearly touching that looked like they shouldn't).

Low and behold, it is working great again. My kids think I'm a genius - especially for saving the day because they got to watch the rest of Ice Age. Granted, the implements that work on the John Deere should not normally be used on home electronics, but it worked this time. Maybe next time the power supply on my PC fails, I should use the Oxy-Acetylene torch. No, better yet - the TIG welder should work well.
