I just wanted to tell you that I was not able to do the repair because I got stuck half way thorugh the instructions. Also - I had to download the instructions but they were so long - almost the size of a samll book and despite having that, was not able to repair and I am not prepared to pay again as I did not get my money's worth - I still have a TV that is continuously losing colour and a repair kit that I have not used yet.
