" "
i have a rca tv model #F31317 it's less then 5 yrs old. i went to turn it on this morning, and i pushed the power button, and i heard the click, like it's gonna turn on, but it didn't no sound either, then i heard 3 more clicks after that. every time i tried it would do the same thing, even using the remote. i checked the breaker outside, it was fine, i checked the plugs, switched them, still nothing. i just would like to know if i need to buy another one, or it's something simple. if simple what part do i need to replace.i appreciate you taking the time to answer my questions.
thanks

Most likely you have a bad highvoltage transformer and possibly a shorted horizontal output transistor. The transistor can be checked with a volt/ohm meter. Check collector to base. It should be over 1000 ohms. The transformer can be tested for inductance with an inductance meter or "ringer". One or both of these can cause the problem you described.
