No, it's the other way around. Component failures may cause the fuse to blow (and maybe other components before the fuse can react).

> it sits in an alcove built into the wall

That's good for heat buildup, and aging of the TV's components. That could contribute to its "early" failure.

One of the few things you wrote that I can agree with.
You might be able to find the service manual online. Even if you can't read the schematics, there are descriptions on how to open up the TV. The power supply board is mounted on a tray that can be unlatched and pulled out for servicing.

> Now, gotta get somebody to help me pull a 185# TV to the floor

I've found it to be a lot more comfortable to leave the TV on the stand. Soldering boards at floor level is not as easy as having it on the stand. (Or is the alcove just a small opening above the floor for a TV rather than floor-level for a RPTV?

What is the model number of your TV?
