Quoted from rosh:

I have troubleshot and fixed dishwashers, washing machines, clothes dryers and TVs based on youtube videos. More often than not, it has been a $10 to $25 part and an hour of time to save two, three or even four hundred dollars. While there are some things I won't attempt, it has been surprising how easy it has been to troubleshoot and fix some of these issues.

Same here. I've repaired a few flat screen TVs. Often for me it's the power supply that simply needs replaced. If you can replace a computer component, you can replace a board on a modern TV.

Quoted from dung:

my 3 year old 60 inch plasma that retailed at 1100 has a tough time comparing to a 500 LCD now. If I want to pony up a bit more I go from 1080 to 4k.

I have a 2008 and a 2010 Samsung plasma and honestly they still compare very favorably to newer LCDs. Now a 4K with 4K content? No, but I own newer 1080P LCDs as well and I prefer the plasmas. I've had to repair both. The 2008 had a surface mount chip on the input board go bad. Guy on ebay fixed it for $40. On the 2010 whites started going kinda pinkish purple. All it needed was a voltage adjustment as they were set too low at the factory to meet some kind of energy star rating.

Real good site for DIY TV repair....

I'm not sure a 37" Philips is worth much effort. In a little over a month should be able to grab a 42" for ~$100 with pre-Black Friday sales.

Does the TV menu have snow? How did the menu look with the original tCON board? Was the board a used pull or brand new?
