Let's accept the fact the game is up with the TV repair trade.
It certainly seems that way. Only a couple of weeks ago I was asked to repair a 42" LCD set, it just required a couple of caps replaced on the PSU secondary.
So the set was duly fixed, but the customer then phoned to say that they have decided to buy a new one!

I was told I can keep the set. That is three sets in as many months that have been dumped on me!
At least I can recoup my outlay when the car boots start up in the spring

Some customers complain at paying £30-40 to have their set repaired, even if it is less than 5 years old, how things have changed...
