Default TV with short circuit - how do I find the short?

news.verizon.net wrote in message
...
A friend of mine gave me an old 27 inch TV that no longer works. Upon
inspection of the insides, I noticed the "5A 125V GMA" fuse was blown. I
purchased a 10 pack of these fuses, and when I replaced it the fuse blew

as
soon as the TV was plugged in again. I am assuming that there is a short
circuit on the board somewhere. How would I go about finding the short?

Is
it possible the power cable or its connection to the circuit board is
related to this short?

Thanks in advance.
