The boys wanted to head to Wal-Mart to buy a new one...well @ $400 Mike decided to see what Mr. Google had to say. Mr. Google said that it was probably a 'blown capacitor' {seriously, there really are capacitors? as in the flux kind?!} So the boys took off the back of the TV {all 400 screws} and, sure enough, there were two 'blown capacitors'. Online they went to try and order the replacements...only to be overwhelmed by the choices.
This morning I went off to our friendly Madison Radio Shack {shout out to Nicole!} and bought two capacitors...they had three drawers full of choices, where the shout out to Nicole comes in. $3.68 later I have the replacement parts and a 'good luck' from the ladies of the Shack.
Mike came home from work and they replaced the pieces...prying off the old, soldering the new...plugging it in..."no orange light...no orange light" chant.
WHOOO HOOOO ~ success!
This is the amazingness with which I live.
