Hitachi 46F500 problem

[Vantassel23]

TV turns on, no picture or sound. Also get a rapid ticking noise from the back, kinda like a time bomb.

Repair shop gave me a rough price on repair 350-450 to fix.

Hope to get a better idea then that. I plan to upgrade to a Samsung 50 inch DLP 1080P anyways.

Wanted to know if I should pitch this Hitachi,hold onto it, give it away.

Thanks
