32" lcd tv - getting 1 repaired

hi i have a 32" sharp lcd hd ready tv an the picture has gone all funny kinda like watchin the film tron but everythin looks that way!

i was wonderin if anyone new how much it would be to fix it instead of scrappin it as we have had a new tv through our home insurance but my mother in law wants to get the old one fixed

  • things like that are designed not to be fixed by the average person with a soldering iron... have a look through the local phone book for TV repair companys, there may also be some in the local paper.

    Sharp tvs are notorious for breaking down. I certainly wouldnt pay to have it fixed anyways
    Buy a Sony, Panasonic or Samsung to replace it (Might actually work out better taking the insurance money and buying one from RICHER SOUNDS)
