PHILIPS 32" CRT TV

I BOUGHT A 32" PHILIPS FLAT SCREEN TV 2 YEARS AGO. RECENTLY THE TV QUIT WORKING. IT WOULD SHUT OFF SHORTLY AFTER TURNING ON. THE SERVICE MAN SAID IT WAS A CHIP IN THE POWER SUPPLY THAT NEEDED REPLACING. AFTER CONTACTING PHILIPS THEY SAID THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CHIP WAS TO BUY THE COMPLETE POWER SUPPLY MODULE $289---INSTEAD OF A FEW BUCKS TO REPLACE THE CHIP. I PAID $500 FOR THE TV--THEY HAVE SINCE COME DOWN TO SLIGHTLY OVER $300--NEEDLESS TO SAY I JUNKED THE TV AND WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER PHILIPS PRODUCT AGAIN.
