Just what I need right now

My television has died (Mitsubishi WD-52725 for reference). It give a fast blinking green led when it starts up, which according to the research is a control board failure.

The interesting thing is that I’m not alone in this. There are numerous other people who have reported this issue, and that it is most likely a burst capacitor on the board. Now, here’s the interesting thing: It could be anywhere from $800 to $1000 for a repair, or it can be fixed theoretically with a soldering iron and $5 for four new capacitors, which some people have claimed to done on their own.

I’m torn…
