Now ya send in your electronics and fat screen TV’s for a $700 repair as they use a .25 cent parts to make the repair.
Or the sheep just replace it and buy a new one or spend hundreds on extended warranty rip offs.

I’m sorry, I just have to say something here...actually, some of the parts on a modern surface mount circuit board cost considerably LESS than $0.01...BUT...it might take several thousands of dollars of equipment to find it and some boards simply can’t be diagnosed without a five-figure test fixture. Contrast this with fixing a transistor radio with some electronics knowledge and a $5.00 VOM from Radio Shack. Worse, instead of a $7.00 soldering iron and $3.00 of solder, it might take a hot-air gun, a “reballing” station for the ball-grid-array chips, and a circuit board oven to de/resolder the part, and the solder is now fairy exotic and perishable!
