SOYO went kaput	Can't Post

Hi All:
I hope I can get some help here.
My 32" SOYO went POP, POP, POP, the screen started showing red, green and blue full screen, the audio was still working, but I couldn't shut it off with the remote, I had to pull the plug out of the wall receptical to shut it off.
I haven't opened it up yet to inspect for any burnt components.
The warranty is out. It's 2 years old.
I tried to get a Service Manual from Retevo.com, but couldn' find one for my make and model.
Below are the specs for my TV.
32" SOYO HDMI, MT-SYTPT3227AB-R 720p
Wide Screen LCD HDTV - 16.9 1200:1
(Dynamic) 12ms 1HDMI ATSC / NTSC Tuner
UPC Code: 6 60475 30166 4
Any help will be very much appreciated, and thanks ahead of time.

Thanks Fabian O

"I did some searching it appears soyo went out of business and not sure where else you could find a manual for this.
Your best bet is to take it to a local tv repair shop to see if it can be repaired".
I'm sure it would cost me at least $100.00 minimum just to get it checked out, plus parts and labor if they think they can fix it.
So I Think I'll open it up and see if I can spot the problem, and identify the parts involved, if so, Ill post pictures here and maybe someone may be able to advise me as to what I might do or try.
If I can't fix it, I'll just buy a new one.
But it won't be a SOYO :-(
Thanks again Fabian O,

Unfortunately, most, including well-known name brands, won't support beyond end of warranty.
