TV repair
My 32" Sony Bravia shamelessly died after 5y of sporadic use. The set switches on but the screen remains black so it could be the lamp or something completely different. Knowing more than well the approach of big companies to fix their products I am not going even to waste my time calling Sony (esp. Sony). Does the specie of TV repairmen do still exist or it is already extinct? I can buy a brand new 32" Toshiba (probably comparable to that Sony) for ~$S350 so I am not sure whether it is worth to bother...

I have only experience with Sony service for their laptops repair and their charge or used to a $150 fee just to open the case. I would expect exactly the same for the TV but I could be wrong. What I was hoping for was some small family workshop using also cannibalized parts. Labor rates are a bit strange in Singapore. I.e. motorbike mechanics are paid rather cheaply and I don't think the job they do is any less complicated than of a repairman in an authorized CE repair centre. The only difference is they are not educated.
