It bit the bullet (polaroid TV)

So after 4 years of ownership my 42" LCD polaroid tv has finally died on me. It started to blink out a few days ago, it would just loose its picture and go completely black. But if you turn it off and back on again it would be fine for a few hours. A quick search online turned up that there is a bad capacitor in the unit somewhere, a pretty standard problem on that model and its a $5 fix. So I went and ordered the part online, expecting to get it late this week.

Then an hour or so ago it just went out completely and wont work now. I think I'm just gonna go out and buy a new TV.
