The attitude displayed by TV (LG in this case) engineers is to fault the consumer a huge cost for outside warranty period repairs, when there maybe a different issue in reality, they would force you to pay the price for the highest value component. This is a legitimate theft they do because we have no idea on rebuttals as we are not experts in the field. Even in private hospitals doctors do such things and inflict huge bills to sustain their infrastructural investments and unfortunately the world is going in that fault-line direction.
