Just so everyone is aware, this is not a business for me but more of a hobby. I don't like the just replace it mentality and the electronics in the junkyard. I also can't stand the service shops charging a lot of money to come and look at it just to tell you that you have to replace all 3 boards in side for a $1000. That is the reason people end up just replacing their TV's. Then the service shop rebuilds it and sell it for $500. Search for Bestech on Kijiji.

If you want me to look at your TV I charge $50 to look at it and $150 if I return it working. In cases where a board is required I can usually find it wholesale and let you decide what to do with it. If I can't fix the TV, I will recycle it for you at R4 Technologies so that the parts don't end up in the landfill. I specifically don't use ERA because they solicit donations from people/companies and then turn around and sell the computers.

I can also repair computer motherboards, power supplies, video cards, arcade monitors and machines. PM me if you have any questions.

Where is R4 Technologies located? I currently recycle all our office equipment at ERA and thought they were a bit shady when I was inside and they were selling freshly dropped off LCD's to what appeared to be a "friend"
