it's a sad comment that stuff just get 'thrown out'. And yes, here in CA, you'd be best served by sane recycling.
My RPTV? Tried to get it fixed, but the light engine was designed to fail, so I sold that to a rebuilder and had NO takers for the rest.....Finally took the remains to a recycler. Later, sold the remote and a good lamp and spare lamp housing to another. Spare / good remotes are hard to find, unless you go logitech or similar.
AGAIN.
IF you really liked this receiver, try to find someone to do a board level fix.
A 'board swap' tech? Not worth his diagnosis fee. I can swap boards.
I'd never buy 'designed to be obsolete' stuff whenever possible. HT receivers are the worst in this regard.
Buy a pre/pro and good amplificaiton. Swap up prepros every 8 or 10 years, as needed. The pace of change may slow down now, while the market catches up.....I hope.
Too much is never enough
