Attack of the Dead HDTV

It turned off of it's own accord. I turned it back on. It ran for less than a minute and turned off again.
I got up and troubleshot only to find no apparent discrepancies of setup.
I gave it another fifteen minutes of attempting to get it to return functionality to no avail.
So ... I ended up buying a new teevee. Isn't ecommerce wonderful?
My stop gap measure was to take my step father's old Dell monitor and attach it to the Roku via an HDMI port then tie in my trusty bluetooth speakers which have sat unused for several years now.
This resulted in a functional tiny screen boom box which is without the broadcast channels — but which will suffice just fine until I get the new dumb HD television set up.
You can't always get what you want so sometimes you have to make do in circumstances beyond your control.
Yawn !
