Tv struck by lightning

Similar problem with our Toshiba. Power surge apparently cooked power supply unit, estimate for repair is $350 from a shop here in San Diego. Doesn't that seem a bit high? How much could the power supply cost? Could it be replaced/repaired by a novice (me)?

Thanks,

Bill

This set is pretty common for the regulator IC to go bad. Its inside on the power supply Printed circuit boad assy. It will start with STR#### and have 4 digits after the STR####, depending on the model of the set. Good Luck
