Can you please e-mail me and let me know how you like this TV? I am considering getting one and fixing it & I just want to know how you rate it overall. It is going to cost me less than $50.00 to fix it, but I don't want to bother if the TV is not worth it overall. Do you like the picture, sound, etc.? Is the picture clear or really dim like some of the old big screens? Any feedback you \can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter and I look forward to hearing from you very soon. Sincerely, E

I found the part you are looking for at a site named: PartStore.com for $4.95, I think.

You can buy a D-board for less than $5.00 from any of the TV part stores that you can find online. Just do a Google search for "TV parts." I hope this helps!

try sony's world parts center???? 1-800-488-SONY (7669)

I had the same problem. The color chips needed to be resoldered. The connections were cracked due to age and heat. The repair cost me $143.00. I was very lucky.
