hello experts I recently came into ownership of a Sampo pme42s6. it powers up fine and has audio, but none of the video inputs are allowing a picture. I plugged in an S-video and Analog VHS signal, separately, but no picture. Note that the "no signal" message goes away when the source is playing, but the screen stays dark while sound comes through. I also noticed (by accident) a flashing greed LED inside.
is this worth fixing, I'm pretty handy with electronics, better than novice, but not no expert by far. thx !

- Okay, I found a "signal input box" on eBay and tried that, the seller said it came from a working unit with a cracked display (but who knows).
nonetheless, after the plug&play, no difference, have sound, but no picture. Now i am $60 into this thing and will go maybe another $40 if I can learn exactly what the problem is. ANYONE ?
i don't know how much the new one cost but it is fixable. Check the components around flyback transformer , check bad connections, check the flyback it self. It ask some expertise . If you can't ask help for your neighbor technician if he is good you will pay little money. but not less than $80
