re: Is a TV worth getting fixed?

The problem I have had is getting the right parts. They are generally easy to find if you can pinpoint the problem, but troubleshooting could get expensive, and time consuming.

So to answer your question, prob not worth getting fixed, by a pro. It's definitely doable if you have the time and patience.

Try and see if it is trying to give you an error code. I had a Sony that was giving me a code when I tried to boot it up, was the red power light and would blink a certain number of times.

I have fixed my older Samsung several times and can tell you that was worth it.
