Thats why I stopped bothering with trying to fix TVs just to save them. If it's a specific application and *needs* to get going again, I'll look into it. But I don't think manufacturers make service parts for these things (at a reasonable price, anyway), so you're really at the mercy of what becomes available from TVs that are parted out. In my experience, Ebay has been pretty good for that.

It is hit or miss, but I *have* run across a guy on Ebay who said that if I could put the part in within 30 days and it didn't work, he'd refund me or get another one. I was surprised by that. But the part worked, so maybe he knows that historically it's a safe bet to make.

There are *so* many models and variants when it comes to this stuff that, to me, it seemed like the success rate wasn't that high for the amount of effort it required.
