GE 21GT660 does not power on (by 2 users)
posted by theojh on Oct 21, 2007
Unit does not power on. I do not hear the whine that some people hear. Banging the sides does not have any effect. I am trying to find the location of the fuse. Not being familiar with electronics, I am unsure where to look. I have removed the back cover.

The fuse was blown. I bought new ones from Radio Shack, and after replacing the fuse, it blew again as soon as the power cord was plugged in. Any suggestions would be great, but I am not an electronics expert. Would appreciate knowing if it is even worth fixing at this point.

Wife heard a loud pop and now the TV will not show a picture or no sound. When you turn the TV on all you hear is a loud high voltage whine. when I pulled the plug the whine winds down. I inspected the TV and cleaned the PC board and did not notice any damaged componets.

solve the problem.Was the fuse blown?? Please comment on where the repair is now and what you have observed so far. I would be happy to help you further.......T.

When the fuse blows on plug-in,the STK regulator output IC
is shorted,also a diode in power supply,+ 2 bad capacitors,
a rather serious repair----may not be worth it.......T.
