I've got a JVC 15 inch plasma screen tv on my bench for service that went through the flood in New Orleans.(Katrina) It was under water for some time and of course the screen assembly has suffered severe water intrusion.( bubbling in between the laminated screen as well as some water streaking in backlight unit.) I'm trying to fix this for a friend that purchased it just weeks before the flood.( and at a cost of just over a grand!) I've pulled the unit completely apart and the electronics seem salvagable, only a bit of crusting that washed off with board washer easily. My question to any experienced in servicing plasma's is are the screen and backlight units cost effective to replace? The one's in this JVC are made by Phillips. I can post the specific part #'s off the parts if it's worthwile. TIA for any info.
