Hot damn! Got my plasma fixed.

At the end of June I posted about the failed power supply on my Samsung 8500 series plasma TV. After weeks of scouring Craigslist, eBay, and the 'net in general, I managed to locate a NEW power supply board. Installed it today and it works! The only thing I have left is to update the firmware. I've gone through the Samsung website with little luck (not surprising). Anyone have any ideas?

Seriously, I have no life.

Well done locating the board. If the TV is working, I would not attempt to update the software.

The only functionality a TV needs is the on/off button.

Well that eases my mind. I'm pretty stoked since the original board was lost in the great beyond and everyone I asked (including Samsung) said new power supplies were unobtanium.
