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?

If you have electronics experience, especially around high voltage and
potentially lethal equipment, then go to the TV Repair Guide at the
Web sites below, especially for the SAFETY information. A blown fuse
can have many causes.
