TV Broken

A new one will have a much better picture. I fix TVs for fun sometimes but it's not really worth it. 10 years is pretty old, 5 years I might consider if the part is cheap.

It may be better to just replace it with the price of a tv.

However, the power board may be a simple fix. I just did this with the main board of my Samsung which is less than 3 years old. Cost me less than $100 with overnight shipping.

I’m unfamiliar with the Bravia, but all I need to do was pop the back off and look up the part number. I didn’t even have to use a screwdriver for anything. Back up and running within 15 minutes of receiving the part

If you are like me, you'll take that thing (anything) apart before tossing it. Best case scenario, you'll find a reset switch, loose plug or something stupid simple. Second best case scenario, you'll take it apart and learn a few things about how stuff works. Worst case scenario, you'll take it apart, collect a small pile of interesting parts you might (won't) use on a future project, have a nice pile of screws and a small laceration on your finger.

Nothing mechanical/electronic survives. It's nature.

If it's actually 10 years old you can probably get one with of the same or better quality for like $300

I had a Sony several years ago that had the power supply board go out like three times under the one year warranty. The last time, I raised hell until they replaced the obviously defective TV. I think the part they replaced each time was fairly cheap, and the hardest part for the techs was removing all the screws on the back to get access.

That may fix your TV, but I would toss it in a dumpster and buy a new one. The smart aspects of the newer ones are much better.

Review online videos and try to fix it yourself, and throw it away if you can’t.
