I have a Mitsubishi 48" big screen TV that has the power light come on but NO picture. Need to know if is worth taking to have someone look at to see if it can be fixed.

What is the model # and how old is it?

A VS 45609 (maybe 7) not sure on the age as my son picked this up at NO charge

2001/2002 I'm guessing...

Is there any sound? Bulbs may be blown... I bet it cost an arm to get it repaired. You could try just calling a repair shop and ask them what might be wrong. Then see if you can even get the parts online.

... hmm.. doing a search - I don't see much. You might pay more than just getting a new one.
