DIY - I want to fix my sony kd-43x8305c that do not turn on

[FilipeTO]

My TV is not working.

I had got in touch with the call centre of sony, and it seems I will have to change my motherboard or something called "Platine".

The price for changing it is above the market price for a new tv. 

I have 2 options:

• Fix it myself or dispose of in a way that someone can use the spare parts. 
• I could try to do fix it myself, but it would be nice to see some tutorials.

a) Do you know where I can find a tutorial/manual to change those parts.

b) if I have to trash it, where and how is the best environmental friendly way of doing it?

Love from Berlin.

Hi Filipe,

If you're not familiar with disassembling and fixing electronic products I would recommend to contact a local repair centre. Even with a service manual or a tutorial a lot of things can go wrong if you do not know anything about repairing electronic devices.
