the last one I tried to have repaired failed miserably, I am sorry that I no not remember the name of the company (2 years ago), but the TV was a Samsung as i recall and this was to closest local dealer/repair location. Unfortunately, these seem to be throw away and buy new, which really annoys me. Try the ubreakIfix (441??) and see if they do TVs or know who does.
Good luck.

What is wrong with your Television? Maybe something simple. Details are important.

Almost all LCD TV failures are power supplies failures. If you go to eBay search your model for Capacitor repair kit you will get a hit for about 40.00 with a link to youtube how to. That, a 7.00 soldering iron from harbor freight, a little bravery, an hour and you are off! You can do it! you have done many things in your life and you can do this too!
