Default TV Repair or Replace

Worth fixing for sure. If you take it in to the shop the labor should
be between $75 and $90 depending on exaclty how many parts need
replaced plus the parts, typically $25-40. Add the trip charge to this
repair guess amount if you want to do come out and do this. Most shops
will want to keep the total repair on a set this old even in this size
under $120 maximum for a complete repair and check out with that type
of problem if you take it in.

Odds are very high on a 10 year old Toshiba that a quality repair will
require checking the known electrolytic capacitors for potential future
failure in addition to the few capacitors in the vertical that are bad
that took out the vertical ic and fusible resistor.

You do want to make sure you call a reputable shop that has the
experience so they can actually fix the known potential failures that
could happen soon after this repair so you won't have to pay again.
Realize that even if you take the tv in, it is going to take two people
to move the tv around and then a well experienced tech should have not
more than about one hour in the set for the repair, then another couple
of hours of bench repair test time.
