Had the same problem (!) a year later, again had the local TV repair shop look at the set; same thing, the warranty didn't cover it.

I have seen a heck of alot of these newer RCA/GE sets with that same problem. My uncle had one about 10 yrs ago and he installed a sat dish and the coax connector hust snapped off the board when he screwed back in the coax cable! I also had seen 2 Sharp sets from the late 90's do the same.
