Anyone do TV repair(hobby) around Oak Ridge/Knoxville Area?

I figure this is a long shot but figured I would give someone here a shot as it.

I have an old Sylvania TV that just quit. It will not turn on. Button or remote.

I know it is time to upgrade but hey it still worked with Direct TV. It is a second TV so I am not with out TV right now so I am not rushing.

I have a couple choices, either fix it or buy a new one.

I shopped around and might have picked up a nice new one for my Main TV and put my current working one where this one was.

However I got to thinking, this one that failed, it worked the night before. I turned it off, went to bed, next morning it just would not turn ON. I kinda figure it is something simple like a fuse or some other cheap part. (I could be wrong)

In short, if I could fix it around 50 bucks or so I would have it fixed and maybe get another year or so out of it. If it would cost me more then that I figure I would just go ahead and start TV upgrading.

How old is it? Chances are it will cost more to fix than it's worth.

Buy a new one.

Yea I know. That is why I was going to put a 50 dollar limit on what I was willing to spend on it.

I was looking at some of the nice 42 inch plasma TV's on sale at Sears on sale that have my head turning. I can't remember the each price but in my budget. I just wasn't ready to buy one.
