I am no techie, in fact a rather un-handyman but thanks to internet research and Parts Electronics I was able to self-repair my old HDTV that would have cost me $75 to have removed as scrap (it weighs 276lbs). Parts did the soldering job in under two hours. Below is my 10/6/2008 post on www.HDTVoice.com ...it is still working fine!
"Thank you LJS Law and everyone! I have no skills but was able to pull the DM Module and had a shop replace the capacitors for $57.19. My Mitsubishi WS55859 now works perfectly. Mitshubish no longer manufactures the DM Module and it is no longer available through Sears or anywhere I tried. Two shops (Romano's and Affordable) in Scottsdale estimated repair at between $400 and $800, both said the internet fix was bull**** . Both shops were grumpy and Affordable was downright rude when I inquired about just switching out the capacitors.
The soldering job was done at Parts Electronics 4126 N. 19th Ave., Phoenix, and they also supplied the capacitors for a total, with tax, of $57.19. Capitol Electronics Supply, 2105 W. McDowell, Phoenix, also has the seven 16V capacitors for a total of $14.78, including tax.
Thanks to you guys and Parts Electronics my wife thinks I'm a hero."
