Not sure if my TV was hit by lighting?? We had a small storm last night w/lighting. This morning when we turned on the TV it came on and stays on BUT the picture was on for only a split second, then the screen goes off as if your turned the TV off, but the power indicator light is still on. There is no sound after the picture goes off. Could the lighting have hurt it or is there another problem? TV is about 6 yrs old. Thank you for you help.

It could be a blown fuse in the back of the tv. Check all the fuses behind the cabinet.

My set is plugged into a cable box. the tv will not turn on either manually or with the remote.

Plug the power cord directly into a wall power outlet, and make sure that the standby light is lit (turn it on/off manually to see if anything changes). If there isn't any light, then it's most likely broken.
If the TV works again, being plugged into the power outlet in the wall, then the problem is with the cable box (i bet you figured that out too).

We had an electrical storm last night! My Oki C9300dxn had no power this morning! I already checked the outlet it's plugged into.

Have you checked the fuses in the plug and on the fuseboard in your house?

My LG LCD 32LD350 seemed to have been fried in a storm last night, stanby red light no longer lit and won't turn on, still see some green lighting inside televison, but it won't turn on, Is it

Is it repairable, well, this question can be answered only after opening the back cover and evaluating the damage. From you side, please connect the TV to a different power outlet where other similar devices are working and see. Then try changing the input device to something that sure works. If it does not work even then, this may need attention by a qualified service technician.

We had a lightning storm last night. The tv was working after the storm and was left on all night . This morning all that was on was the VIZIO light on the front and it will go off and on with the remote....

Sadly, only testing of each component can suggest the extent of damage. Many years ago, lighting can in through the window of my living room, hit the TV, blew the knobs off the TV (that date's me), shot into the kitchen and shattered the kitchen counter top. What I want you to take from that is that the course of a power surge is a bit unpredictable. No one can guess how far it got until you find a lamp that works.

Similar monitor, similar problem. I actually had to dismantle the thing and replace a transistor on the mainboard.

If you're not into soldering and such, good luck.
