I remember my last plumber.
He did a good job.
In fact I've referred several people and profitable jobs to him as a result.

The only potential problem I forsee is doing it all at the customers home.
Jorge, is there no way you can at least remove the chassis/lightbox
and return later with it. The only reason I mention this is if your customer
see's you spend 1 or 2 hours only on the repair they may want to argue the
total repair charge with you.
I never do the repairs in the home. Always take the chassis/lightbox/pcb
assy. and come back with it.  There are a hundred reasons I can give for not
doing so and if a customer were to completely insist on it I would walk.
Dont like people looking over my shoulder either.
I cant imagine a situation much worse than trying to fault find and repair a
potentially troublesome problem on an unfamiliar chassis in the customers
home.
Just my 2cents worth.

Oh for Pete's Sake Jorge!  Don't torture yourself, call NAP and get the LSB
(Large Signal Board).....if the customer doesn't want to buy it, why should
you painfully, cheaply repair their TV?!? Huh? Well? Whattya get out of it??
The HONOR of fixing their TV??

We're remembered about as well as the plumber who did a good job at our
home. Do you remember your last plumber???  My point exactly.....
