My Akai PT4298HD is again not turning on, the red timer light blinks for a few seconds then does nothing. I had it repaired 2 -3 years ago for $400ish. Can I do anything myself or is it time for a new HD? Rich

Apparently theres a curse with the Akai brand of HDs. i thought i was the only one who was stuck with a nice conversation piece but apparently NONE of their tvs live past a year...
but it has taught me a lesson about not buying cheapos...
oh yeah and repairs wouldn't be worth it (it would last for about a month) so go for a more reliable brand.
sry =(
