Soldering a Broken TV

I started having trouble with my TV after it was moved in a U-Haul from
San Francisco to Seattle. I managed to locate a faulty solder joint on
the board. Applying pressure to the joint with a strip of wood fixes
the problem.
My problem is this: I am very experienced with electronics and
soldering, but I have little experience when it comes to high voltage.
I need to fix the solder joint but I have no hardware to properly
discharge any high voltage capacitors in the TV. I don't think this is
a problem as the faulty solder joint is attached to what appears to be
a FET. However, it could also be a triac, which could mean that it's
attached to a HV part of the circuit. I don't want to stick my head in
there to find out exactly what it is. Would you advise fixing the
solder joint without first discharging the TV?
Thanks in advance!
