We have a Zenith L15V26D TV in the kitchen. It crapped out yesterday.
We were watching it, and it simply lost power. It can't be turned on
by the button or the remote.

Of course I checked the GFI outlets first, then I measured 120 VAC in
the power cord itself.

Should I bother? Or is it just done for?
Is it worth taking apart and checking fuses?

I don't really want to shell out for a service manual if it's just
plain dead.

I don't think a service manual will tell you much.

If both sound and picture are out, the problem's probably with the power
somewhere.

I'd probably fuss with it an hour or so... it might be as simple as a blown
fuse or fusistor.
