$75 to $100 for a projection set, in your dreams.
Given the size, looking at an in home service call, around $50 to the door,
plus around $125 labor plus parts typical. Well under $300 most of the time
for that type of failure. $75 to $100 is not even enough to stay in
business.

We have a guy like Ken in our area, who works out of his house, has an old beat
up truck, crappy scope, decent meter (but nothing else), and lives in a very
modest home. His wife makes excellent money and benefits (for both), and he
has the nerve to call the professional shops crooks for charging $250 to repair
big screen TVs. By now, between his using crappy generic parts and blowing off
appointments, his reputation is crap. The problem is that this unprofessional
guy is staining the whole profession by association.
