My current TV died before the longevity/price ratio of my last TV (that I had fixed once) and I'm not even going to try to fix it. I know the crazy number of complicated factors why, but it still makes me sad.

On closer inspection I see that the LCD still works, it's just the backlight that doesn't. I suppose due diligence requires that I look into its fixability.

Ugh, the parts aren't expensive but flavor-of-the-week manufacturing means getting the correct ones is iffy and the procedure looks like a pain in the ass. Guess I'm going to Best Buy. sigh Anyone want a free TV project?

it's disturbing how much of an upset to my daily routine a dead TV was, but with a smashed rotator cuff I'm leaning into it. When it heals priorities will be rearranged.

@petes_bread_eqn_xls Thank you, I appreciate the sympathy. Frankly, I don't deserve it. I'm an idiot that stumbles on despite myself.

@redrummy you can continue with negative self-talk if you want, but you do deserve sympathy. Of course you do.
