Yeah...depending on the type of TV it might not be worth it to repair. I spent about $200 to fix a really nice Sony several years ago. Then something else broke on it.
Upgraded to flat panel and now it doesn't take 3 guys to move the TV.
HA! I know that sony you speak of.. it was their first XBR I think... largest CRT they made? Weighed something like 350lbs? I think they had a 42" and a 50"?Quote:

Guess I should have mentioned,samsung 42" LCD. Power won't turn on, power light flashes.
Stupid ???? Did you try the Micro soft reboot?? Unplug for 10-15 min. and plug back in?? Just a thought.Quote:

That's what mine did when the bulb went out.. the power light would flash.
Buy a new one when Jack gets his Job.. just think of his first month sales!
Yep...that was it.Quote:

new tvs suck my dlp died after a year the new bulb is like 500 bucks......meanwhile my dad still has a tv from like 1970 in his bedroom that keeps cranking along
Unplug power cord and hold power button for 30sec. Plug power back in and wait a minute then try power again.
We have the Sony 36" wide CRT and it weighs 320. Great picture just dread moving it if it dies.Quote:

i'm almost ashamed to admit this story but here goes, last year I was cleaning my 1006 smith and the recoil spring rod shot out and hit my 1 month old 55" led and shattered the screen they wanted over a thousand bucks to fix it, with no guarantee how long before they could get the parts. I only paid $1400 for the whole tv, so needless to say I went and bought a new tv, and put the broken one in storage for parts like the tv shop reccomended, now I have everything but a screen if my new tv takes a dump.
Got LG's Big and Bigger.
Never had a problem.
Just make sure you take care to not blow a recoil spring through the new one since that's the one part you don't have. [ROFL1]Quote:
