On the note of fixing things: if it’s already broke you might as well try to fix it. If it doesn’t work then at least you tried, if it does work then you saved yourself some money and gained some useful skills.
In the last 5 years of living in my apartment I’ve fixed and sold about a dozen TV’s. All of them were found by the dumpster or on the side of the road.
I even fixed my 75in 4k OLED TV after Best Buy cut me a check for it saying it was unfixable. So basically a free $1500 TV because I figured out how to fix it.
