purchased protron pltv-3250 december 2006 at sears and march 2009 believe i have had the power supply board failure that ive seen all over on the internet. both protron and then name changed to spectroniq seems to be out of business as now i realize for good reason. parts for this model ive found at shopjimmy.com $125.96 for the board or at sears for $142 part # rfr-pts-142 havnt repaired mine yet but per talking to a tech at shopjimmy.com it is possible to do yourself or get part and have a shop do it if your not comfortable doing it ..guess the "get what you pay for" line holds true next tv will be samsung or sony hope this helps if anyone else has gotten the shaft with this junk tv
