I called Pioneer about the problem. The only thing that they did is to give me the phone number and address of the authorized TV repair shop near me.

The Pioneer plasma picture is the best that I have seen. That is why I spent the big bucks. No Samsung Led Lcd picture comes close. It would still take me $2000 for a Panasonic that would be somewhat close.

Any comment from a TV repairman would be helpful.
You're in an impossible situation. The Pioneer Elites were the best TVs made, but as they've been disco'd for several years now support and service will be difficult. With that said, it's not wise to throw good money after bad in search of repairing a TV that has suffered electrical damage.

I think you have three options:


1) Buy a functional, used Pioneer that you can use as a replacement
2) Buy a used Pioneer with a cracked screen, swapping out your screen with the guts of the TV you are acquiring.
3) Buy a new TV.
