When my lcd tv went haywire a few years back, I thought that was all she wrote. Looking online I saw quite a few video's about the power supply caps going bad, exhibiting a bulging in the top of the cap. I thought, I can replace those. But, none looked bad. I found a local source that worked on these tv's as it turned out one of the IC chips had gone bad. This thing had a multitude of tiny solder leads that was beyond my capability. Turned out I got it fixed for a little over a c-note. Better than spending a half a grand or more for a new tv. Then the volume control went crazy, going up or down all the way all by itself. Once again, looking online I found what was an easy fix. Simply disconnecting a wire that enabled the volume button on the side of the tv. Nobody gets up to use the manual volume button, so, no big deal and keeping me from spending big bucks again. Thus, it can be done to some degree. Just check your local resources and youtube.
