There's a raft of information all over t'interwibble regarding failed LCD TV's.

There is a good chance the fault is a couple of blown capacitors on the PSU which cost about 50p from Maplins.

Anyone with a mediocre understanding of Soldering can quite easily replace them.

It's worth a punt when we are talking about a TV costing £350 upwards.

I agree though, if the capictors don't fix it.... ebay it and let some other chump try the same..

A very high % [ 80% guesstimate ] can be easily fixed for a £2.80 Maplins purchase, and it includes plasma sets as the problem & solution is the same, the specific issue is generally brand agnostic.

I've got one ready to de-board and re-solder later this afternoon ! if I get time.

You are right to tell people it's often DIY for a fiver or £800 for a replacement, there were some posts about 3 or 4 weeks ago on these boards.
