TV repair as well...
Our Mitsubishi big screen TV went out right before Christmas...and I searched the internet to see if anyone was having the same problems that I was having. I found out that there were a LOT of people with the same issues...
I got a quote from a TV repair service to repair (hopefully-no guarantees) my TV....for $1200 (TV was $2200 new?). After reading through a couple of the forums...I found a possible solution....so I tried it (I really had nothing to lose...LOL).
It worked!
The cost? 26 bucks and about 20 minutes of my time...
$5 for 14 capacitors
$6 to ship the capacitors

$10 for a soldering iron/solder removal tool
$5 for flux and solder
What a cool Christmas gift!
