the TV set was off but it would have been on what I beleive is standby

So why would the TV have gone bang during the brownout. Working the

corrected?



Equipment very often fails when turned on, that's just the way it goes.
It likely had a problem developing and that last thermal cycle exposed
it, would have failed soon anyway.
