TV in 1 yr. old and was working fine and then the next time we went to
turn it on there was nonthing , no power at all to the TV.
I'm sure you already checked the outlet and the surge protector bar. It's lame how the warranty only last a year on this TV.
If your lucky, it will be just the fuse that need to be replaced. It will look like a little glass tube with metal caps on the ends. Radio Shack or an Electronic supply store will have the fuse. Just show them the fuse and they should match up the type and size. It needs to be 4amps and 125volts fuse.
If this doesn't work, you'll need to replace is the power supply board. The board# is BA71F0F01042. Your power supply board should have the same number on the lower right side of this board.
The board is hard to find right now. Only three places I know of to find it.
Ebay,
Discount-Merchant.com,
and Shopjimmy.com
Sadly, nobody has them in stock.
I wish I had a extra board to sell you, because I know how to repair the power supply. I have the schematics diagrams and part# for the pieces on the board.
If you ever come across a replacement board, let me know. I would like to buy your old board. Here's my e-mail, [email protected]
If the fuses blow right away, then it would be a power board problem. Some thing must have shorted out on the board.
If the new fuses fixed the problem, then best thing to do is invest in a better surge protector. Power spikes from the power grid and power outages will kill a power board in a TV. A good surge protector normally cost about $100. A cheap $10 surge protector has a very slow reaction time and the quality is very poor.
How did the fuse problem turn out?
Ok. If you decide to buy a new TV, I can tell you which other brands to stay away from that have the same problems and other defects.
If you get rid of the TV, I can recycle it for you. I'll even pay for shipping. :)

Thank you for the great info.
We went to Radio shack and replaced the fuse as you suggested,
it blew out three fuses.
What we are wondering is if the fuses keep blowing is it a power
board problem or something else.
The site you recomended (Merchant.com) wants $179.00 for a power board. We don't want to buy it and then fry it if its not the
problem.
Thank you for responding so quickly and sharing your knowledge.
We have ruled out that it is a fuse problem as three fuses blew instantly. We are now waffling between a new power board or just
going ahead and buying another TV , which will not be an Emerson.
What model is your TV?
Is the red light on?
Does your TV little green light blinking and say "DIGITAL TELEVISION" for about 2 seconds then shut off?
