So our 5-6 year old Dynex LCD TV suddenly stopped working a month or two ago. The power light would come on, but no image would show. I didn't really want to buy a new one, and really didn't want to take a chance on a Craigslist/pawn find either (the ones I found were only running $30-40 less in our smaller size). So we have been watching Prime and DVD's on the laptop. I was given an ultimatum by the SO for replacement (kids are home for summer), so I watched a few youtube videos, and on Saturday, popped the back off. Nothing appeared burned up, so I checked every connection I could find. Nothing appeared loose, and I figured I couldn't hurt it too much more so I gave it the ol' technical tap, and presto, the screen stared displaying again! But it was not to last, upon reassembly, the picture failed again. Several disassemblies and reassembly's later and while things seem to be working I am still not confident that the loose connection has been identified as operation is still intermitant, and I have to remove the back to readminister the proper technical tap that restores function (but once it is on it seems to stay on). So for now, it is kind of like that old car that requires you to hold your face just right, push here, and pull there, but it works!
