Any of you guys making this kind of money??? Jay tech-assist i am writing you on behalf of my grandmother who had called for service on her zenith television (model z36x31d). the comany came to her house and diagnosed a power supply problem, but wanted to charge $350 for labor, $210 for the supply on top of the $69 dollar charge for there time there. i am a copier technician and am familiar with electronics and as far as getting the power supply and swapping it myself there is no problem. but after i replace this item i was wondering if i have to reprogram the microprocessor ar anything else. this i do not know and wonder if you can help. i sure would be nice to rplace this board on a 3 year old set for $175 dollars rather then having to buy a new t.v. thank you for your time and i look forward to a helpful reply if you can provide it. carlo. cardego4@xxxxxx J.
