Keep the Sony, sell the fixed Samsung. Just my opinion.

I had to replace the mainboard on the Sony too, so in my book, Sony is not much better then Samsung.
I would like to get a nice Sharp LED, and keep that one.

Sony are far better than Samsung. Not that I like Sony though, there's just nothing... special about them. Just LCDs, you pay a lot of a price premium and get not much for the money.

Finally, I have repaired this one too.
First main board, was lost by USPS and I had to get another one.
I have ended up buying one of those "empty" boards from Ebay, since shopjimmy cs confirmed it, that it should work.
I had a BN94-04684A board and replaced it with a BN94-03366R and it works great.
I'm keeping this one, it shows better then the Sony.
Thank you for the help.
Now I have to redo everything, remove my older Sony home theater system, Sony TV and install this Samsung TV($165), the repaired HK AVR($112) with the Onkyo speaker system(7.1= $229), satellite receiver and a wireless repeater router(ddwrt).

Well, glad it is fixed in the end.
As an experiment, have you tried reflowing your old board in the oven, like Xbox360/PS3 problems?

I haven't tried re-flowing the ICs.
There are some square gray pieces and I'm not sure what they are. They are hard. First I thought that maybe they are hardened transfer pads, but there is nothing to transfer the heat to. They may be aluminum blocks for cooling?

They are heatsinks (not heatpads) -- a bit of a joke really -- not sufficient for the heat produced.
