Default Toshiba TV won't turn on after power outage

The weather was beautiful all day -- just the typical Pacific Gas and
Electric service interruption, so it's hard to figure how it could
have been zapped with a surge. Something squeals when the set is
plugged into the power strip, but that's the only response.

Any ideas where to start?

Is there likely to be a reset button or blown fuse? It's a Toshiba
27AF43, if that's any help.


If the "power strip" mentioned is a battery-powered, uninterrupted power
supply (UPS) with surge protection, it may have tripped on the brief service
interruption and not properly returned to AC Line power. The squeal may be
an alarm that the battery is too weak to provide enough power.

Just a thought, since this has been happening to my UPS.
