Re: Akai LCT3285TA LCD TV power supply issues

MY POWER SUPPLY HAS BEEN HIT WITH A SURGE DURING A LIGHTNING STORM. DO ANYONE THINK I SHOULD TRY TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM OR JUST REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER BOARD. WHICH WOULD WORK BETTER AND BE MORE COST EFFECTIVE. I FOUND AN UPGRADED BOARD 24A INSTEAD OF 16A FOR 132.99. CAN I REPAIR ALL DAMAGE PROBABLY CAUSED BY A LIGHTNING STRIKE AND UPGRADE THE COMPONENTS TO THE 24A STANDARDS THAT IS NOW RECOMMENDED. IF ANYONE HAS INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO UPGRADE AND WHAT ALL I SHOULD REPLACE. I AM A ROOKIE WHEN IT COMES TO THESE ELECTRONIC...
