I tried to find out more about this model such as year of manufacture but customer service is closed.Here is the link if you would like to know that info as well as other questions/concerns you may have.
http://support.jvc.com/consumer/support/index.jsp
Here is a forum about a few minor problems people have encountered with it.
http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=776872
The more I read,the less I like it.When buying an HDTV,the current technology is 1080p and this TV has 720p,so it is at least a few years old.Also when buying an HDTV,there is a thing called dynamic contrast ratio.I could not find out that number for this model but we purchased one recently and it has an 80,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.This number has to do with the contrast between darkness and lightness,basically making them more clearly defined.So for this number probably 50,000:1 and higher is good.You probably also realize that a 61" TV should be in a fairly large room.To sum all this up,I probably would not buy this TV at any price.We paid $650 for a 42" LG with much better specifications and more current technology.When I tried to research your TV,I googled basically the model number and when was it manufactured.The last page I saw showed the 720p and that's when I realized it must be around 2-3 years old,if not older.Plus if you google the brand name and the model number,you can find many forums where people talk about the one they already purchased.I just basically scan for problems which may be expensive repairs or common problems and warranty issues.Hope I helped.
Good luck! Greg

JVC DLP TVs are great TVS but I would not recommend purchasing a DLP TV used, nor would I pay $700 for a used TV!
The most I would pay for that TV would be about $300 as long as the lamp has been replaced within the last 4 months.
Save your money and add to that $700 and purchase a new flat panel LED TV, you will be much more satisfied with picture, performance, color processing, etc., you will probably have to settle for a smaller screen, but you will get a better TV in the long run.
GOOD LUCK !

Gas gauage,temp.& oil gauage quit working..now what

Well you have a car that is worth at best 500 dollars, with a working instrument cluster and gauges it is still worth 500 dollars. How much are you going to spend to fix it? Not much. Look on eBay and craigslist for someone selling a 91 voyager off part by part and buy a replacement cluster for 10 bucks.
Junkyards, aka auto recyclers, also sell old car parts, look in the phone book and call around and ask if they have one of those sitting in their lot. Go buy the part and look around for someone who can replace yours with the one you bought. Would not hurt to buy a 5 dollar CD repair manual on eBay and see how difficult it is to pull the cluster out yourself, could be something is disconnected that you could see and fix yourself. Every part on every car ever made is going to fail due to age or use, yours has already made it 10 years past its design lifetime.

Replace motherboard on f732nr

Its not really worth the effort, laptops are soooooooo different to base units, i doubt you could buy a replacement, unless someone is selling a spare/repair.
Your laptop seems to be worth about £200 secondhand, so if you can get 1 at a good price and can fit it yourself
Goodluck

My 46 inch Sanyo flat screen turns on and right off again

Might be worth it if it cost over 500.00 dollars, I had a simular problem with a Yamaha HTR receiver... the cause was the power adapter/converter was overheating... so it sounds like something along those lines... It cost me 129.00 dollars to fix my receiver so I would say 100.00 dollars or less... I saw a 42" LCD at the local electronic's store selling New ones for about 400.00 now..

Cracked screen

Unfortunately if the screen is cracked the only remedy is to have it replaced which will be expensive, therefore it might be worth considering a new TV

Are there a lot of problems with a 94/95 mitsubishi hd 1080I

If you must have it make sure it works and don't pay much at all for it. Now everyone wants to upgrade to flat screeh and High Definition so the older ones are only worth a small amount, say ten cents on the dollar
