Big screen parts
horseboy:
I have a 4ish year old Sony 53" big screen (can't remember model# off hand), and the screen has some problems. I know I can pay the TV repair dude a few hundred bucks to put a new one in, but I was looking for something cheaper. Does anyone know where to look for new/used big screen parts? I mean there has to be about a million Sony (my model) big screen that broke but still have a good screen. Anyhow, any help is much appreciated. Thanks

You could call local TV repair shops to see if they have any... I'd imagine they have some parts sets, though within 4 years would be tough. Another option might be to check places like craigslist for broken ones being sold, ebay too. Obviously do a google on the part number and maybe just call up a sony repair center to see what they would charge for the part alone.

I wonder how hard it would be to put in myself? :dunno

I had issues with my Toshiba big screen TV. I found this website www.fixyourowntv.com and emailed the guy there he told me what part to buy to fix my TV. I had to solder in some new ICs and it fixed the problem. I think I paid $60 for the parts from him.
It was easy and cheap.

If it's just the screen, it's not hard at all. They're usually held in place with clamp force from the bezel or velcro on the cabinet (or both). Some combination of very simple things like that. It's more nerve wracking the first time you do it than it needs to be. Doing that gives you a good chance to clean the projector lenses while you're in there. That is also very simple and makes a gigantic difference on an older projection TV.
