Hi, my local craigslist has a guy selling a sony WEGA kdf-e42a10 for 30$. He says that it recently stopped working and that "KARL's estimates that repair will range from $250 (clean internal fan) or $350 (replace internal fan) to $450 (replace internal control board). " Do you think this is something I could buy and find a way to fix? or buy parts for and fix myself for relatively cheap? (under 100$)


I sent him an email asking for further details on what happens when he tries to power on, and i will keep this thread updated with the info he gives me... I'd like a 42 inch bedroom tv for 30 bucks though


Would you risk it?

the seller says that when they try to turn the tv on, There is no picture and the red light on the front blinks 6 times. anyone know what this means?


edit: through google a popular response is something with a "thermal fuse" ... anybody know what this is?
