TV dead?
My TV is about 13 months old. It's worked great. Great clear picture.
I just turned it off a few hours ago and now it won't power on. ???? No warning signs or anything weird. It's just dead. I unplugged it, waited and tried again. The other things in the power strip work. This TV just decided to stop immediately. It's barely a year old. My wife just wants to buy another new one. But I'm hoping this is an easy, cheap fix. Any ideas on what I could check? |

But it's by no means impossible for a fuse itself to fail without there being anything else wrong. -- Cheers, Set Square ______ Please reply to newsgroup. Reply address is invalid. |

I've seen it happen, but it's exceedingly rare compared to the number of people who assume it's "just the fuse" and replace it, often with a bigger and bigger one until something else smokes. |

--- on the heady topic of " TV dead?" 69 From: "69strat" 69 Xref: core-easynews sci.electronics.repair:352096 69 Sorry it's a Phillip 27" (27pttp6442) flat panel 4:3 style which is 69 dated June '04. Start by checking the power cord, then the fuse, then the supply, etc. Eventually move onto more complicated things like the startup circuitry, relay, degauss, etc. Finally, it should become clear where the problem lies. A*s*i*m*o*v .... Email returned to sender -- insufficient voltage. |

Seen a lot of these with fuse blown because of the DGS thermistor. It seems
that the inrush current at power on tends to weaken the thermistor, actually causing a change it's cold temp resistance, which then promotes excessive current during the Degauss Cycle. There is a mod for the tele if that is the actual problem you are experiencing. Best to do some in-depth troubleshooting to determine if that is actually the problem. Panasonic and Sony sets also incur similar symptoms. "Ken G." wrote in message ... To be honest Filips is one of the worst sets . Take your wifes advice this time but dont buy the same thing again |
