Anyone know of any "typical" failures on a Sony Trinitron KV-27S10
(manufactured 9/94) that would make it dead as a door stop? I had bought
the set for my parents, and had worked without a hitch for years. Just
recently they were watching it and the picture just disappeared. I recently
picked up the set from them (bought them a new one) and have done a cursory
external review of it. It's dead!

When plugged into the wall, sometimes can see a tiny arc at the plug when
put in the socket. No humming, no noise, no lights, nothing. Tried the
power button. Tried the remote. Again nothing.

Any suggestions as to what might be wrong or what to check? I am pretty
handy with electronic stuff, but mostly in the digital domain.

Thanks!

Don
