42" flat screen RCA TV purchased in July 2010 for $598 came with a defective remote that store replaced with a better remote for free. No further problems since then and TV always worked fine for 6 years without a flicker trouble free.
Yesterday while watching TV I pressed the info button on the remote that gives info about the show being viewed and
the screen went black, the power light on the TV stayed on. I've tried the manual buttons on the side of the TV all it
will do is power off power on. I reprogrammed the remote control and the same results, power off/on only..
I assume with electronics everything works fine....until it doesn't.
Something on the circuit board in the TV burned out?
Can it be repaired/refurbished and where?
Would it be worth it? Or does the cost to fix = discard and replace with a new TV?
IF so, any suggestions on a good similar size TV to purchase?
I would prefer one that will last forever.
