This is the question everyone asks the second their TV fails. Why fix it when there are super cheap TV’s at Wal-mart and other discount retailers? I would like to tell that it is always economical to repair a TV but the truth is, while the majority of TV defects are easily cureable, there are a few that are not.
- Cracked panel = buy a new TV and recycle your old one.
- Single, thin, stationary line in the picture = buy a new TV and recycle your old one.
- The brand is a cheap brand (we all know = buy a new TV and recycle your old one
The rest of the defects in TV’s are fixable with the right parts and more often than not, $100’s of dollars less than buying a new one.
The next question you may ask is “what will keep this from happening again?” or “does this mean more parts will go out on my TV?” My answer is always “no”. We rarely see a TV twice because we get to the cause of the failure and we don’t just mask the symptom. We also guarantee our labor and the parts we install.
