I AM A SENIOR LEVEL ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN WITH MANY YEARS EXPERIENCE,I GET PAID FOR IT.HOWEVER ANYONE THAT HAS THE BASIC TOOLS SUCH AS A GOOD QUALITY DIGITAL MULTIMETER,A CHISLE TIP 40WATT SOLDERING IRON AND VERY BASIC SMALL HAND TOOLS CAN WITH A LITTLE RESEARCH REPAIR MOST ITEMS WITH SOME LUCK.FIRST AND FORMOST IT IS BEST TO GET THE SERVICE MANUAL(NOT THE USER MANUAL)FOR THE PRODUCT IN QUESTION.THIS CAN BE PURCHASED FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR WITH LUCK FOUND IN YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY IN THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT.GO THERE ARMED WITH THE BRAND AND MODEL AND LOCATE THE 'HOWARD SAMS PHOTOFACT'FILES.YOU MAY NEED A LIBRARIAN TO ASSIST YOU TO LOOK IN THE INDEX TO FIND THE CORRECT FOLDER FOR YOUR PRODUCT.THIS WILL GIVE YOU PARTS REPLACEMENT DATA AS WELL AS PICTORIAL COMPONENT LOCATOR GRIDS AND SCHEMATICS TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THE FAILIER.THERE ARE ALSO MANY BOOKS THERE TO EXPLAIN THE VERY BASIC RULES OR LAWS THAT CIRCUITS RELY ON TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED,SO THIS IS VERY EDUCATIONAL FOR THE DO IT YOURSELFER WHO WISHES TO SAVE CASH BY NOT HIRING A REAL TECH.I HAVE TO SAY THOUGH THAT I DONT DO ANYTHING SMALLER THAN A PROJECTION TV AS THE SMALLER ONES ARE NOT ONLY CHEAP,THEY ARE MADE CHEAP AND IT IS NOT WORTH MY TIME OR FEES AS YOU CAN GO GET ANOTHER ONE.I FIND MY SELF DOING MUCH BIGGER PROJECTS THESE DAYS AND CONSUMER THROWAWAY ELECTRONICS(BY DESIGN)IS NOT ONE OF THEM.NAFTA DID IT,LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE....
