    Hell it also applies to the new televisions. I've been helping Rite with contract work for panasonic, vizio, and LG, everyone of them looks like a computer inside, just more spread out.

    Your right, I had a cheap 19" lcd tv from wally world I picked up while OTR. The darn thing kept blowing a capacitor about every six months. When it first happened, I googled the tv and found out what a cheap pos it was, but also found the fix everyone was using. After the second time of replacing the same capacitor. I found some willing soul at the truck stop that bought it. My cousin     :biggrin_2559:

    NEVER buy a wal-mart tv even if it's a good brand. The reason why Wal-Mart is able to offer cheaper prices is because they are actually made differently. If you live within 180 miles of Abilene, TX disregard what I said, Wal-Mart is the best place to buy your next tv.
