I had that situation too, on a new RCA 27" TV this past summer. It needed
an IC in the power supply. Parts distributor said part NLA. I emailed
Thomson, after a long delay, they finally said the part was NLA! No
excuses, apologies etc. I told the customer all of this and gave them
Thomson's phone number... It's so nice to have such great support from
manufacturers isn't it!

| That is the same information that I got when working on a similar
unit. If the parts suppliers do not have parts that aught to be a clue that
it is not repairable.
