WE ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WE BOUGHT THE CHIP, REPLACED IT AND THEN THE POWER WOULD NOT COME ON. THE BLUE POWER LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING THEN SHUTS OFF ALL TOGETHER. SO MY HUSBAND REMOVED IT AND TRIED TO DO IT AGAIN. HE SAYS HE THINKS HE FRIED THE BOARD. ANY SUGGESTIONS? WE DON'T HAVE THE $ EITHER. HELP PLEASE SOMEONE OUT THERE. CAN WE FIX THIS PROBLEM OURSELF OR SHOULD WE HIRE SOMEONE. IS IT CHEAPER TO REPLACE THE TV, OR SHOULD WE TRY AND GO AHEAD AND REPLACE BOTH CHIPS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. BUT WHY IS THE POWER NOT COMING ON AFTER HE DOES THE CHIP. HOPE TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE SOON. THANKS ANN
