Reply #2: Searched the web until I found someone who carried the parts

I have never looked inside of a projection TV but did you check the top of the capacitors on the PS board to see if any of them were bulging and/or leaking electrolytic fluid? They look like this(the round barrel shaped things):



If any of this can be seen good chance you don't need a new board. You just need to either replace or have someone replace ALL of the capacitors on the board after removing it and that should fix it. It is no big deal.

If you can solder you can do it. If not find someone who can. Even a friend or relative who is a ham radio operator or electronically inclined should be able to do that.

The capacitors themselves should be fairly common and easy to find online. Cheap too.

Good luck.

Oops. And let me guess. You didn't have this TV plugged into a good surge protector when it died did you? That is what got mine. I was waiting for the price of the surge protector I wanted to go down. I waited too long and it cost me $135 bucks for 2 new back light boards. Plus $15 dollars shipping. And the price of the surge protector that I wanted and now have in line increased. Shit.
