Now this is just, well see for yourself, one day the picture on My TV was like this, dark in the upper right side..

Now no darkness,

This picture is even better, no darkness in the upper right hand corner, I think the LEDs might be ok. Sorry about the ad. ShopJimmy is no help, their techs don't talk on the phone or by email, just the sales types do.

Now it's dark again, I think as soon as possible, I'm going to buy another power board for the TV and then send the current one in for repairs.

I got an answer on Fixya.com, which was recommended by ShopJimmy.com, they recommend I replace the power/inverter board to fix the problem, and yep the LEDs are now all on once again, the power/inverter board is faulty, not the LEDs. Replacing is possible, just not this second.

Right now I've got a great picture, I don't know when this will go back to half lit, but for the moment the pics great.

Found by Googling "polar bear in a tree". Computers are wonderful.

There are several places along the north coast were trees and polar bears overlap. From my personal experiences, this includes the Mackenzie Delta (although that tree look a bit big for the Delta) and around parts of Hudson Bay and James Bay.

Pretty sure that was photo shopped Bill! And you are a little stirrer you know :-)

I'm pretty sure if a polar bear smells food in a tree he climbs!
High Five:)

Polar bear pups does.

I think a Polar Bear can climb a tree but only if Chuck Norris is there to give it a boost up.

I have a 4 ton unit on a 2000 square foot house and I have see it get over 120 outside. Inside, the temperature was maintained but the unit ran without cycling for around 4 hours. At times like that the power bill runs around $300 a month for a all electric house. Yes, I do stay cool but at a cost.
The up side is the winter power bill can be as low as $100. Just the reverse of Wisconsin where the winter heating bill can be off the scale.

Hi Dena.

Luckily we over the pond don't have the extremes of temperature that you guys do!

What do you mean?
In Scandinavia it fluctuates between +30 C and -30 C.
In Russia even more!

Give me a warm day over snow and ice any day. I had enough of it in my childhood.
