I learned a valuable lesson: don't sit plants on top of your tv and water them. Water overflowed and spill down the back of my Hitachit 53SBX59B projection TV. I think the only place the water got inside the TV was at the bottom where the circuit board is (not on the lamps or their circuitry). The TV will not turn on at all now... no sounds or anything. I can't see any lights on the cirucit board either when it's plugged in. I may be wasting my time but where can I buy replacement circuit boards?
I can solder. I already took the panel off and looked at the board. I only see one fuse and it's fine. I don't see any visible "fried circuitry" from the top side but I haven't looked under neath. If it's just a replaceable capacitor or something I'd solder a new one one... my only problem is figuring out which one it is... and for all I know it was a chain effect that busted 100 different capacitors or whatever. Any tips on where to start?
After ensuring that everything is dried out, you might try to replace a fuse (if blown).

Your Talking real expensive to replace the chassis in a projection. Was the Tv on when the water spilled? If it was only plugged in on standby it may be an easy fix. Do you have any soldering skills or troubleshooting experience?
