Hi,

I use to work in the repair game for a TV, VCR, Radio and uwave oven
manufacture.
We had one really bad model of TV that sent RFI back up the line to other
product eg (Radio all sort of brands)

Nine time out ten TV's we fixed the problem by changing the RFI components
configuration in the TV.
I'm not saying that this will fix you problem, just how manufacturers cheat
on parts in production to save cost $$$$.
They cut cost all the time then one day when the fertilise hit the fan, Then
the theory is only fix the one that complain (much cheaper).

thinking of building a coil.
