Hi,
 If you have any TV repair shops they should be able to fix them. But
that can cost. Any schools in your area that teach electronics might
be able to fix them. You would have to talk to the teachers directly
which can be hard to do but a lot cheaper.
 In order for you to fix it your self you will have to give the group
something to work with. That is what it is doing, sounds and all. You
might have to use a volt meter to read certain check points, Be able
to drain caps so you do not get shocked when replacing something.

Take Care,
