I just hate the "throw it away instead of fix it" mentality that we have nowadays and this is my feeble attempt to fight back. I'll know when to throw in the towel, but 1st I'd really like to give it my best effort.

Money's very tight for us right now and we can't just go buy a new TV, since we have much higher priorities right now, so my mother's 6 year old 50" TV would be really nice if it worked for a little while and I would get bragging rights!
