OT: tv repairman in NYC?

[Ghost of Stan Parrish]

Thanks, everyone!  I don't know what a multimeter is, nor how to use one.

I'd say the consensus is that the tv is "broken."  I'm not going to bother with it anymore.

But after taking a bit of a liquid lunch, I will offer to buy anyone who contributed in this thread a drink the next time you're out this way (offer is closed as of this post).

Even if you had/knew how to use the multimeter, you would still be buying a new tv. Sounds like your display is gone.  Just had one replaced, under warranty, and was told the part alone for my 47" is $550 plus something like $400 labor.  If it isn't under warranty still, new tv.

you could always just contact the manufacturer. sometimes they're pretty silly and will just give you a new one even if it's out of policy. Worth a shot, I suppose.

Yeah.  Mine was under warranty, but they sent me a new one AND send out a repairman to fix my broken one.  Boom! Two new tv's for the price of one.

Had a Mitsubishi 40" LCD go out after just under 3 years.  Mitsubishi Customer Service paid for the new panel it needed and I paid the labor, around $250.  It did take 6 months to get the parts.

GOSP, have you been to TORST yet?

Sadly, no!  Super-impressive insidery info you've got there, SD!   

I don't know what that means exactly but I want to go there.

Managed to get in during the first week to the brand new restaurant attached to Torst.  The food was fine; the beer pairings were superb.

I am planning a elite food super trip to NYC at some point.  Will have to hit up GOSP for elite recommendos.  Recent food centered vacation to San Fran was prob my best vacation ever.
