I do tv repair. They are dead east to repair. Its basically a large laptop. You have a system board, power board, and depending the brand a few other smaller boards that are easy to swap. Getting the parts is not incredibly difficult, but it depend how new, how old, Eric. EBay is key. But, like any tv, of its the screen, it's trash. Typically costs more to replace that then buy new.
