I have a 52" Sharp Lcd that doesn't power on. I'm guessing it could be maybe a fuse or power supply. any idea if it is worth the fix? Or a good repair shop? It apparently had some flickering issue randomly so I'm guessing it might be the power supply. it was working fine but all of a sudden it stopped turning on one day.
Seems like a waste to just throw away.

Anyways thanks!

It's probably a capacitor, it's an easy diy if you're handy with a soldering iron. Had it happen to a sharp I was using as well.

if you have space open her up
if you can't DIY then it's TV shopping time

Imo, there's no almost no point in upgrading TV unless you can take advantage of 4k (which most people don't) or want a bigger TV but that's another discussion.

A quick Google search says this company (TV Repair, All Brands, Free In Home Estimate Serving All of Vancouver Lower Mainland (http://www.excelelectronics.ca/)) is a pretty good repair shop. I don't have experience with them, but there's no harm in getting a repair quote from them. But you're right that it does seem to be a waste to throw out the TV when the problem could potentially be a small one.

If you live in Surrey there is a business in the Payal Centre that does really good work on electronic repairs. Company is called KS Electronic Repairs. Ive used them a number of times.

I'm in Vancouver I'll try to call around and report back what I find out. I did read somewhere where sharp cheaped out and used defect prone chips from Turkey but I'm not 100% affected my unit.
