TV Power Help Needed

[bobbyfk]

Does anyone know anything about TV'S? when my power went out I had our new 32" HD TV on and now that the power came back on my TV wont turn on, the cable box will but the TV is totally dead, checked the power source and all looks to be fine....

it's a Toshiba 32RV525RZ

It might have taken a flight to heaven. In some cases it's fixable..

[tltaylor89]

Sudden surges can cause the board inside the tv to fry you may want to check with the manufacturer of youre tv to scheldule a repair

As they said it might be dead. If not go flip your breaker off then on again. Then unplug all the wires and plug them back in. Sometimes that works.

Bummer bob.

[JohnAnthony]

Damn it Bobby was really hoping I was wrong.

[GiveMeaBJ]

Important Bobby, unplug the TV before you flip the breakers.

[bobbyfk]

just did it BJ......nothing

Is it a flat screen HD? if so, your power supply unit might have went bad. If you open up the back of your television, there will be a circuit board that the power cord is connected into, that's the board that went bad. You would probably only have to unhook a few connection plugs that hook it up to other circuits, and then unscrew a few screws to take it out. After that, if you google model of television and "power supply unit", you could get another one on your own and replace it yourself. It will save you a couple hundred bucks from taking it to someone.

Always always always use a power surge protector.

Always always always use a power surge protector.

This should be a cardinal rule.

[JohnAnthony]

Simple troubleshooting steps you may have overlooked:

- try plugging TV directly into wall rather than through power bar
- try leaving unplugged overnight and then try plugging into different socket [this once worked for me]
- if there's a power button, try holding it down for a certain period of time both unplugged and plugged in

Obviously next step is to call toshiba tech support

All the best,

Manufacturer doesn't cover surge. Hope you bought extended warranty.

[JohnAnthony]

Let us know what happens Bobby..geez what a bummer..

This happened to a plasma TV I had a few years back and this is a SOLID POST... He's right that's very likely what happend and you can save money by doing it yourself but you better know what you are doing to some degree or take it in and spend the money...

[odusmykal]
