If this stuff is similar to what I used on my TV, I was able to save a $500
repair. A retired TV technician came over with his spray bottle and loaned
it to me overnight. He left me with a schematic and told me where to spray
the stuff. My TV which was malfunctioning works like new now. Apparently the
spray dissolves built up corrosion that accumulates over the years.
