flat-panel LCD tv stopped working

I have a Magnavox 15" LCD flat-panel TV that's about a year and a
half old. A couple of months ago it suddenly stopped working. There's a
small green light on the transformer. It used to stay on steady as long
as it was plugged in, but now it flashes. If I disconnect the TV from
the transformer the green  light burns steadily.

<> Magnavox's
web site was less than useless; their toll-free line told me only that
it was out of warranty (duh!) and that there's no "exchange" program on
that model, whatever that means. They gave me the name of 2 local
authorized service shops, but neither of them can fix it (or even look
at it: that model has to be sent off somewhere). 

<><> I'm
just trying to figure out if it's worth paying to have someone even
look at this thing. It wasn't that expensive to begin with, less than
$300, and I don't want to spend much on repairs if it's a piece of crap
anyway. You know? I'll just replace it with one of the many other TVs I already have around the house, and never EVER buy another Magnavox.
