It seems what you are saying is that this problem has occured not
during the brownout but when I turned the TV on. I accept this as you
guys are the experts and I appreciate all your help so far to help me
understand what happened. So why would the TV have gone bang and smell
of a burning smell whilst it was switched off.



I didn't catch that part, what parts went bang? Was that the vertical chip??
