You have to be comfortable with electronics soldering however.

I looked at his post and would have agreed with you until he says it boot loops pointing more towards a system board, however caps could cause reboots also. I fixed a plasma earlier this year by simply touching up all the solder joints on the power board with proper leaded solder as there was a period that companies stopped using lead and became prone to solder joints cracking and failing.
The fact that it turns on at all is worth trying to fix but trying to get someone to your house to fix that will not be worth it at all.
