Hello, I was directed to this site - not sure what I'm asking for, but any useful comments are welcome.
The set is 8 years old. For a couple days, it would get one or more loud pops from the speaker and the sound would shut off while watching TV until I turned it off and on. Then, it totally broke. When I turn it on, for about 1 second the brand logo is displayed - but the third left of the screen is darker - and then the screen goes black.
I called a TV repairman and without seeing it he suggested a new board, parts $100-$150 and labor $100.
I'm deciding what to do, repair or replace, tempted to repair as I was happy with it, it's cheaper, and avoids a hassle.
