There is no "polarity", per se, to AC,


There is 'polarity' if it has an earth wire and the op connected mains

My point was that it's not like reversing + and -. Why would reversing
hot

Everyone responding seems to assume that the power cord is AC mains;
some sets
(such as my Polaroid LCD2000) use a power brick and a DC cable to the
set; the
O.P. may have miswired that cable after cutting it if the set is DC
powered.

That`s easily done, even for those in the know.
