So, I have two LCD TVs that are having similar problems that I'd like to first get an estimate on, then theoretically get repaired.

The first is a couple years old Toshiba 42" that works perfectly... for five minutes or so. Then the screen goes completely blank but the sound keeps working fine. Doesn't matter what the video input is set to, the screen is black after 5 or so minutes. Turn it off for a bit, and it will do the same thing.

The second is an older (say 4 years old ish) 27" Digimate (I think) LCD that again works perfectly for 5 or 10 minutes, then turns itself off completely. Again, leaving it off for a bit and then turning it back on recreates the problem.

Clearly both are overheating somehow.

Any recommendations from the good Calgary Puck community on a TV repair shop? Neither are under warranty anymore so that's not really an issue. I'm not desperate to have them repaired in house, so I can drop them off somewhere to have them looked at. I'd like to get an estimate on repair before committing (especially on the older 27" one).

Thanks in advance.
