I once had to dig into my rear-projection Mitsubishi to do soldering work, and honestly, the worst part about the procedure was the careful dismantling and reassembling of the mainboard and daughterboards, and all the wiring connections. The soldering was super-easy. The set used large-format components for all of its electronics, lots of big single-layer through-hole boards with big old resistors and such.

Even then... Surely you've got a friend who can do soldering?
