Wtf?

Think I'd be making an aluminum or stainless plate to put on there and use through-bolts to mount it with some silicone to seal them.

It's true. I fixed a Samsung LED TV that wouldn't turn on. They used a tiny resistor that I thought was a fuse.

That resistor was chosen so that it always ran hot and failed after about 3 years of normal use. I put in a bigger one with the same resistance that stays cold and now have the TV for 5 years.
