A few days ago I'm going to the post office and the only parking was on the opposite side as to what I was on. So I had to go around the block to park. As I'm traveling around the block and half way through the second turn I see a flat screen tv on the curb for trash. I generally try to tell myself I dont need any more tv's but you know how that goes. So I stop and back up thinking it's a piece of crap or a broken screen. So I'm sitting in the truck looking at it and the screen looks fine and it's a nice looking tv. So..... you guessed it, I got out and put it in the truck. Upon returning home it goes on the bench and I plug it in. It comes on for a few seconds and then goes off. I turn it around and how nice, a smaller back cover that comes off to access the boards without tearing it all apart. Upon some observation I identify the culprit parts and $1.14 later it is running fine. Now I just have to figure out where to put it, LOL.......

Nice, Mac!
Man, I didn't think Element had even been around that long... Can you tell how old it is?
I do like that modular design... Better than having to take out about 3-dozen screws to get the first board out!

Manufacture date is Dec '07 so probably sold sometime in '08.

Guess it's a good thing they didn't shut down the Post Office in your town. 
Nice Find!

LOL. Actually there are probably at least 10 post offices within 10 to 15 minutes so it probably wouldn't hurt to loose a few....
