Hello Phil
No Signs of Power
If you did not find any signs of power before unplugging the appliance - no light, no motor, no fan sounds, the first thing to determine is whether your electrical outlet may be malfunctioning. Plug a lamp into the outlet to see if it has power. If the lamp works, then the problem lies with the refrigerator. If the lamp doesn't work, then you may have a blown fuse or circuit breaker.
If the refrigerator is getting power but won't work, you may have a wiring, compressor, thermostat or overloaded relay issue. Unless you have specific appliance-repair skills, you may need to call in an expert.
Insufficient Cooling
If you've suddenly noticed that your food in the refrigerator doesn't seem as cold as it should, check a few things to figure out the problem. Check the thermostat setting to make sure that it's set properly. If the light is on but you don't hear the fan or the motor running, it's possible that the compressor isn't functioning. The problem could also lie with the thermostat, the defrost timer or the condenser fan.
Take a look at the evaporator coils located in a panel in the freezer section of the appliance. If you find excessive frost built up over the coils, you may have a problem with the defrost timer. To fix this, you may need to turn the unit off to defrost the coils completely before the refrigerator will be able to cool properly again.
Strange Sounds
If you hear strange sounds, determine where they're originating. If the sounds are coming from the freezer, this could indicate an evaporator fan that's needing lubrication or replacement. If the sounds are coming from the outside back of the refrigerator, you may be dealing with the compressor, the condenser fan or the defrost timer. These parts often wear out and need replacing. If the noise is coming from the bottom of the unit, this may be a simple issue - your drain pan may be shifting. You can duct-tape the pan in place to stop the rattling.

My TV Blaupunkt tv has turned itself off this morning after a few seconds, and there is no red light on the TV now

It sounds to me that you no longer have standby voltage. If you are good with a multimeter, I would measure voltages on your power supply, check the fuse, and see if there are any burned components or bulging capacitors. Also check that you have your right voltage from the wall. Trying an outlet you know that works would be good if you don't have a multimeter.

Help my washing. Machine lights up but it's dimmed light not as bright as normal will not start

Could be a bad circuit breaker or outlet. You need to check the outlet with a voltmeter. If it is ok then i would think the washing machine internal power supply is going out.

Sony KLV-27HR3 won't come on

Check to see if you are getting a back light by looking through the slots on the back cover. If you are getting a backlight then it is not your power board. If no back light check your connection in another outlet different room if possible or use a long extension. If still no back light then you are likely to need a new power board.

Woke up this morning and the fridge was not working, It is like there is no power on to it. I checked the breaker and it was not tripped I did reset it to check but still nothing.

If there is not lights or anything in the refrigerator, then you aren't getting power. Start out checking the outlet - if you don't have a multimeter to check it, use a hair dryer plugged in to that outlet to see if it will work. If it doesn't then it is between that outlet and the main circuit breaker box or even a bad circuit breaker.

If it does work or you have lights in your refrigerator it is probably either the starting capacitor, start relay or compressor.

LG refrigerators are more sensitive to power fluctuations than other models and we have had to replace a lot of starting caps and relays - but sometimes it is the compressor.

Hope this helps!

I did a power button shut down. The next morning the light on the front panel was blinking. I pushed the power button and the the computer just went blank. The lights went off. It sounds like a power...

Try this first.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet for about ten minutes then plug it back in and see if your PC powers up.
If still no power, the power supply is shot and will need to be replaced, it costs about $40 for the part.
I hope this helped.
Good luck and have a pleasent day.

Everthing is connected, no lights whatsoever. Was working fine until power outage this morning.

I would first make sure there is power to the outlet that your modem is connected to. If you already have something else on that outlet and it works, move on. Hook a light into the outlet to check - you may have tripped a breaker or blew a fuse to this outlet. If the outlet is OK, the surge during the outage may have destroyed the modem. You can take it to a repair shop or buy a new one. Any warranty will not cover the item. I suggest getting a surge protected outlet for all computer devices. Good ones are not cheap, but they come with insurance to pay for your devices should something happen.

I have had the Hyvision MV220 monitor for 2 years now. I powered it off last night and it will not power back on this morning. There's a clear dot on the power supply and I'm not sure if it should be lit...

The light should be lit on the power supply when its plugged into the wall. Sounds to me like the power supply might be bad. Plug it into another working outlet and if it still doesn't light up then the power supply is bad.

If it lights up then you know the outlet is bad.
