No sense in going.  The customers description is more than enough to
identify the problem.  I've seen a few of the same---looks like road
map?---change light engine.  I'd only go if you know for a fact that you
will collect a trip charge.  Call sony first---maybe you can get the job if
you negotiate for the right price.  I'd recommend 160-220 for  a ballpark.
The job dont take long at all for those that have done it----not much longer
for those that havent.  Been a couple of months since I did one but I'd say
I can do it in 30-40 minutes or less.  Take a very long #2 phillips or thin
extension.  The rest is just remembering where the cables go--and there
arent that many.  BTW--try to get the customer to pay the labor and let sony
reimbuse them----lots easier for you.
