Well I will try to see if there is indeed a removable fuse that can be replaced.
I can't take it to a shop easily as it's way too big and heavy for me to move easily - no way I can carry it. If it comes down to either buying something new or getting it to a repair shop (or trying to work out a way to have a repairman come here) I will probably just buy something new.
Ah, there does appear to be a little panel secured with a screw, where the power cord connects to the back of the set. May be worth a try if I can maneuver the thing around and check it out.
The bad thing is I'm already looking at LCDs on Amazon and now I want one.
Okay what's the deal with LED-lit? Obviously it costs more, is it worth it? I don't know what it does!
