    Default TV crapped out on me, repair shop?

    My TV recently took a shit, before I spend the cheddar to buy a new one, anyone know of a good repair shop?

    Depends on the type of TV.

    the bulb on my DLP went out last year and it was $300 to fix.. I regret fixing it cause then my hdmi ports went bad..

    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.

    We have the Sony 36" wide CRT and it weighs 320. Great picture just dread moving it if it dies.

    Since I am old (not as old as Blaster) and do not watch much TV I am in no hurry to replace it.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    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.

    It's usually not worth repairing TV's anymore. My old one died around Thanksgiving and the part I needed was around $350 so I got a new flat screen for $300. JMHO
