It bit the bullet (polaroid TV)
So after 4 years of ownership my 42" LCD polaroid tv has finally died on me. It started to blink out a few days ago, it would just loose its picture and go completely black. But if you turn it off and back on again it would be fine for a few hours. A quick search online turned up that there is a bad capacitor in the unit somewhere, a pretty standard problem on that model and its a $5 fix. So I went and ordered the part online, expecting to get it late this week.
Then an hour or so ago it just went out completely and wont work now. I think I'm just gonna go out and buy a new TV.

Yeh I'm probably going to drop by best buy tomorrow and pick up the cheapest decent 42" LCD they have.
I'm looking at Dynex for their cunsumer ratings

I always attempt to go on a budget TV, but I always end up a few grand broke after I get a new TV.

I was looking up some info the other day and I ran across the capacitor fix. It looks fairly easy to pull off. If you don't want to, I will.

Good luck with the fix. Hopefully you can take care of it for the price of a few capacitors. |

I want a Panasonic G25. I hope to be able to get it next month for the bedroom. If everything works out. If it all works out I will wall mount it and put a blu ray and sat receiver in the closet and then get a Harmony remote so I can still control them.
