Alright, good news. I was able to get L509 out through desoldering. I reassembled the unit and tested it out. There's good news and bad news. Good news is that the image shrunk back down to normal as seen in picture 1, so I know it's Q503 (or hopefully not IC509) that is the problem. First bad news is that I believe L509 has broken. it snapped when I pulled it out, seen in picture 2. Do you know where I can get a new one (if it is broken?) Next is that the TV doesn't seem to be accepting Component input very well. The bottom row of inputs says "RGB/Component," and it works fine with RGB, but when I tried to plug in my DVD player using a Component input, I got picture 3. I afterwards tested it out with a Composite video input, and it looked like it was working for the most part. The image was shaking up and down noticeably bad, even with the Menu screen on, but you could tell what the image was at least... (picture 4) Lastly is a problem I noticed from the start but wasn't as worried about, and it's that audio is completely absent. I got a cable that combines the L and R audio cords into one and tried it in all ports, and I even tried just using the L or R cable without the combiner to see if it would make sound. No luck either way. So, I think that leaves me with nothing else to ask but where can I buy Q503, since it's not listed on the service manual? Thanks for all the help btw. Wouldn't be able to do any of this without y'all, It'd have been a waste of money otherwise.
