New member Username: FyrekrackerOhio USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-05 | I have a KDP-51WS550 51" rear projection Sony that has suffered burn in from a cable news program. What is the process to repair? Typically what does something like this cost up here in the Great Lakes region? |

At 173 lbs I would assume it's not a dlp set,etc. Was just online trying to find some parts for it... couldn't find really much of anything in the way of parts, Did find one site with a "Sony" link, when I clicked on it it said item no longer made... or something to that effect.... So I assume it IS crt based. If it's a CRT based set... There are 3 of them... I would think they are $400 to $600 a piece... and then you have to fiqure in the labor to change /align the CRTS which isn't going to be "cheap". If it's NOT a crt based set, and the set is indeed damaged it's not going to be cheap to replace the light engine either. Maybe these people can quote you a price. http://www.ercservice.com/Sony-repair/sony-tv-repair.html |
