Solder it. At 50 years old I had never used a solder iron before. Well except when I was kid and played with one just because my parent told me not to.
Anyway my first flat screen a 1500 buck one from samsung. 1 day out of warranty it would not turn on for a few presses. over that week it increased to 20 clicks until the next day it just would not turn on. Called samsung. I got a response sorry it is out of warranty and it would be around 300 bucks to fix. I felt sorry for the verbal abuse that poor person received. They had nothing to do with samsung's crappy TV. I did a google and found that samsung used cheap capacitors on their board. A quick trip to radio shack and 20 bucks later I came home with a solder iron and a few capacitors. I was already resigned to buying a new tv because I would not pay 300 to get this one fixed. a couple hours later I had the 4 bad capacitors replace on the board, only messing up my first solder. Worst part was getting the old solder off the board. The TV is great but why on earth they would put a cheapo capacitor in is beyond me. A 1500 tv is worthy of at least a 59 cent capacitor I replaced the 5 cent ones with.
If at 50 I can do my first solder job anyone can do it because I am very clumsy. Just make sure to remove the battery if possible. 10 dollar solder iron at radio shack and some wire for a few cents.
