Testing parts before ordering

				My Samsung HL-P5063 TV turns off at random times.  Sometimes right after start-up and other times after it has been running for a while.  Can turn right back on but doesn't always complete the start up right away.  I have already relaced the lamp (needed to anyway with 14000 hrs on it) and am now leaning toward the ballast or the power supply.  I was wondering if there is a test to see if it's one or the other or something else.  I hate throwing parts at it just to see if it works!!  If anyone has any info please let me know.  I have replaced the color wheel, analog board, lamp...how much more before I dump this thing?  Maybe a LCD is in the near future.
