a friend recently gave me this RCA 27" t.v. he said he doesnt know why it
wont
turn on. i replaced the fuse. once i plugged it in, the fuse blew again. i
didnt even get a chance to try and turn it on. the model# is: F27615 and
the
chassis is:CTC203AX. it's a 2000 model.
any suggestions?

Something's shorted in the power supply, I just fixed a CTC175 chassis that
had a blown power supply driver chip, it was an STK730-010 if I remember
right. There were a bunch of weak capacitors too but that chip was the main
problem.
