My Samsung shuts off within a second or two of powering it on. It seems that an estimate is $45-105 and that the repair will be about $300 to replace the board. It's probably a short on the board or something like that. If this were my computer, I'd just buy and install another board. I know TV's have high voltage power supplies so they are dangerous to open up but why aren't they being built so we can repair them at home? Anyone have any ideas on this one? Will we be able to do more on future TVs? If not, why?
Why aren't TVs reasonably repaired anymore?norton antivirus
If it costs $2000 to replace a TV, then $400 to repair the old one is reasonable.
At least they can get the board for the Samsung. There are cheaper brands where the only way to get a replacement board is to salvage it from another broken TV.

%26gt; Is there a technological reason or is it just money making on the part of the manufacturers?
It's more like, I can't think of any reason why a manufacturer would want to make their TVs so they can be repaired by the owners and plenty of reasons why they would avoid doing so.
Liability - exposure to lawsuits from owners that injure themselves while monkeying around inside their TV's.
