If you have a LCD,or plasma that just takes forever to turn on,or won't turn on,I have an easy fix that you can do yourself. Anybody have any problems?

What's the fix? .45 ACP to the center of mass?

After that, a credit card at the big box store.

I was gonna say a nice 1 3/4 oz #4 turkey load would fix any troublesome tv. That and a shovel......

Put it out front with a for sale sign for $5 when people stop to ask what's wrong with it say " nothing... BUT it's haunted, and I selling it before someone gets killed"

Mama always said" fun is, what stupid people do next".

actually it was four (4) swollen capacitors on the power supply. Samsung wanted over $600 to fix it. Total cost including the desoldering tool .....$24,and the satisfaction of doing it yourself.

I would rather do a 32 round mag dump from the UZI at center mass and then go out and get a bigger flat screen TV. But thats just me.

I feel your pain Chunk, the dreaded dead caps in the switchmode psu fault LOL
I spend a good part of my time fixing electronics and the trend in the last few years here is switchmode power supplies crammed in anything that is mains powered, problem being they are being constructed in cheaper manners and some are even potted in resin so they are a PITA to get to and fix plus they create more RF hash than ever. I may have to pack up and move to the country to get away from it (pity I can't afford to LOL)
Take Care
