Hoping this never happens in the near future, just wondering what people have doen to their dead projection tvs. 2nd aquarium?

Like anything that is big and breaks, get rid of it! I just bought my first RPTV, but if and when it breaks (assuming many years from now when it is not worth fixing) I will put it outside my house during the spring months where the town will take it away.

After giving it 'the last rites' I take a screwdriver to them - just for fun. Who knows, you might learn something?

Ouch. be careful not to discharge any of those capacitors into your body. You'll get a shock that is risking injury!

A very good way to dispose of any old tv that is not working or is in serious need of expensive repair is to check the phone book for charities, like veterans assc. or ARC. They use these as training tools to help teach a trade to someone who might not have the funds or ability to get this training and skills elsewhere. Most will pick-up whenever is convienent for you. Just a suggestion.

I have a Tosh TW56x81 sitting in my garage..I moved and the movers dropped it breaking the reflective mirror and smashing all 3 CRTs..The set is totaled..If anyone wants to pick it up let me know...

Another suggestion – Put it on the curb with a big red sign.
FOR SALE – 500 DOLLARS
It should be gone by morning.

Don't forget the fine print on that sign:

"NO refunds, NO exchange, NO call me if no work."
