I am planning on fixing it myself since the local Zenith will be charging me $92 to just look at the thing. A new part at Radio Shack is about $10. According to another user, this is just a matter of cutting the cable and soldering the pins with the new connector..... ....now tell me, is this a smart thing to do since there is 15 little tiny pins to solder.....or should I just pay the guy $120+ to fix the thing? Any insight would be appreciative.... ...dale
