RELATED QUESTION: Panasonic 34" TV Faulty On/Off Switch (?) Humid Weather?

Cobweb, thanks for the quick responses!
NEW QUESTION:
I wanted to provide you with add'l info in regards to this problem TV. It is still not fixed yet. The technician said the part he keeps replacing is the high voltage regulator. It keeps over-heating and "shorting-out". The humid weather probably played a factor in causing the regulator to over-heat and short-out. He said the regulator did short-out once in the shop. He replaced some parts, covered the TV, and went home. The next day, the TV did not turn on. He has since replaced the regulator (again) and several other parts but the high voltage regulator is still reading "hot". He does not feel he has found the part that is causing the regulator to over-heat. Any ideas?

PREVIOUS QUESTION:
Panasonic 34" TV Faulty On/Off Switch (?) when Humid Weather?

Everytime the weather was humid, my Panasonic TV (CTX - 3 yrs old) wouldn’t turn on. I can hear the TV “clicking” maybe 3 times, it pauses, then it shuts off. On a normal (dry) day, it “clicks” maybe 5 times, and the picture comes on. Recently however, the TV finally wouldn’t turn back on. I brought it into the repair shop, they fixed it, and I brought it home. It rained a couple of days later and the TV wouldn’t turn on again (same “clicking” sounds). I brought it back to the repair shop. It worked till it rained again. Now the TV won’t even turn on when the weather is dry. I’m wondering if I should bring the TV (175 lbs) back to the repair shop (do they know what they’re doing?) and spend more money. I would appreciate any tips/suggestions on what to do!

The following less common causes come to mind.

On older models, I’ve had the main power regulator fail due to arcing terminals underneath the mains smoothing capacitor. Often the first sign of the capacitor failing is the plastic encapsulation shrinks around it. That could certainly cause the regulator to fail.

On more recent models, I'm always suspicious of the EAROM (memory IC), which creates the most obscure intermittent start-up problems in Panasonic TV's.
