I mean, last time I actually did this was about 8 years ago with a huge to me 37" regular tv. I could only find 1 electronic place in town, and it was I think $80 for diagnosis which goes towards payment if you go for it. I just didn't think there was a big market for this outside of warranty work, and I always thought you had to drop it off.

Thought this job went the way of computer bench techs.
I can't really make a comparison as I was too young to know anything about TV repair company success back in the day, but I know a couple of companies in Calgary that are thriving with flatscreen TV repair.
