Broken Television



So I get up this morning to watch some tv before heading to class, and I come back from brushing my teeth to find the screen black and the power button blinking green. I tried to turn it off and on and unplugging it, but nothing has worked. I read somewhere about unplugging it for 4-6 hours and then trying it, so I am doing that right now but I am not holding my breath.

Long story short, I have a decision to make: do I spend the money to get my current tv fixed or should I just buy a new one? It sounds like it will be cheaper to get this fixed, but it will still cost a couple hundred bucks ($50-150 just to diagnose, then probably a couple hundred to fix it). I bought the RCA tv in the summer of 2002 and it's one of those huge fuggers that were built just before flat screens and such became popular (it's not a HDTV or LCD, just a standard one).

Any thoughts on what I should do? I thought about getting this one fixed, but the more I think about it it seems like maybe I should just spend a few hundred more to move into the digital age with an HDTV flat screen. However, I'm a broke grad school student so money is tight.

If you read the fine print I mentioned this was 1994.

My, how times have changed.

Hotels now have flat-screens.

Just get a new set.

She's going to be ticked when she finds out it's an English-speaking television.
