That looks like a bic biro, some have used this method with success. For a couple of £ I went with the loop.
With a loop you can also easily move to another module if it doesn't resolve the issue, bic method means removing cables from the plug.

Bit of a thread revival here... Mine did this for the first time today. Not a hot day and not an overly long drive. Has anyone got anywhere with fixing without needing to bypass the TV, or is it a failing internal PCB component that cant be fixed or bypassed ?
