| well in all fairness i expect they would want £60 just look at it ... i would charge £60 just to look at it too ... i expect that includes 2 people who collect it in a Van which they have to pay to keep on the road ..... rent on a workshop and so on ... most of the work is done on diagnosing and research etc. rather than actualy repairing it its self .... ive just had to recent purchase a new Infra-Red Soldering Station for replacing SMD Components etc. on Multi-Layered PCB's which cost £2000 (approx. US$3,600) the time i had a fault like that on a Samsung Projector TV i spent about 3 or 4 hours messing about with it and looking stuff up, obtaining service manuals, cleaning out the internal filter that was clogged with dust, and causing it to overheat, cleaning the lens's on the projection unit ... the actual fault on the one i looked at only turned out to be an adjustment but after 3 ppls wages came out of what we charged and the petrol for the van to pick it up and 4 hours workshop time we could of earnt 4 times that on normal stuff we really made nothing out of it .... |

| Replace your convergence IC's. I'm thinking there STK392-040. But look first, this model doesn't ring a bell. | |
