LCD & Plasma repairs
I see a lot of the Polaroid and Insignia with bad capacitors. On Plasma I usually see one of either X or Y main power supply modules bad. It seems heat does this more than anything. If the module is available from a stripping organization (buys warranty return sets and parts them out, generally they are reasonable to repair. I had one plasma where the main power module was only available new and cost nearly one third of the original set cost.
And don't forget a well aimed football into a LCD screen. This is common during football season! Seems the CRT sets took it pretty good as long as it didn't knock them off the stand. LCD's aren't so forgiving.
Give me a good old CRT anyday!
