FWIW, I recently took a 42" Sharp TV to the recycling centre.  I bought
a new 43" Sharp for $349.  That's getting close to what a repair is
likely to cost.  Much of my career has been in repair, though not TVs. 
I've often realized it's better to toss & replace, than attempt to
repair and I have experience in replacing large (over 100 lead) surface
mount chips.

Incidentally, my new TV uses about 1/5th the power of the old one, so
there's that to consider too.
