If your not a tech I would advise you to call a pro to assist you with this repair as theres no place inside a TV set for a do-it yourselfer. If your a tech first thing on this set to test would be the input(AC)power Supply for blown current limiter resistor. Next would be to check out the DC supplys in the main power supply as well as the sweep power supply.Good Luck

Panasonic tv hdmi inputs not working

It appears that during the storm there may have been an electrical surge that damaged the electronics of your tv. If the tuner is working fine then the affected area (board) is the one that has the HDMI input sources.

My Acer Aspire M1201 won't turn on.

More than likely your power supply got fried from a power surge during that storm anyway. You'd be surprised at how worthless most surge suppressors are these days.

sounds like the power supply is the problem, it could be as simple as a fuse.

Power supply or fuse is shot most likely. You can use a voltmeter and test power coming from power supply to main board. Some units use a high voltage transformer instead of a power supply. You can get parts at tigerdirect.com

well 4 year Tv's are just that now and unless its Digital it may not be worth the money to repair. Lightning spikes have killed off the ppwer supply box inside. The cost of replacement is $100-$150 ( if you can get one for this model) + 2 hrs minimum fitting at $90 hour. + your transport of this to a repairer.So it may be time to see that your next and new TV is connected to an anti spike power board and when not in use or a storm is imminent unplug it anyway

Power outage / TV won't come on.

Call the manufacture tech support and ask them for their rep in your area. If it is possible for them to reset your TV I am sure that they will.

From your description, most of the time there is damage to the power supply, or one of the areas in the set.

GE Rear Projection TV Color Alignment We have a major problem with our TV! Some days it shoes more blue than the rest, some days more red then the rest. But everyday its blurry as all get up! We have tried the converence thing in the front settings of the TV. But that doesnt help no matter how we align the lines. We have opened the back to find a 6 screw panel on the right which works great at some time but eventually goes back to what it was, sometimes the very next time we turn the TV on again. We also recently found a 10 oxegon shaped screw panel which we just started to mess with even though there is no labels to it. All I can tell is one of them will adjust the vertical alignment of the screen. Now what is wrong with our TV & how can we fix this on our own! We arent in any shape to buy a new TV & we are willing to do it ourselves if we can! Before we lose our eyesight trying to watch TV!

I have a GE GW948 which is about 15 years old, and recently the screen starts to brighten then darken. When it really get bright there are diagonal lines in the screen. Is it worth repairing? Je Seems to flicker more if it is left on...and warms up..

Jun 04, 2012 | GE 46GW 948 46" Rear Projection Television

TV will not change channels I have had this 46" GE for about 12 years; great picture and sound. Recently it started having this unusual problem. It will not change channels. I first noticed it while turning on the DVD and you could hear the DVD playing while the tv remained on whatever channel it had been on (from the DISH tuner). While running some tests I noticed that no matter what channel I selected for the TV, ( 7 required for my Zenith VCR/DVD combo) the DISH feed remains on screen. If I entered channel 99, the tv doesn't recognize it and the picture remains on whatever channel the Dish receiver is set for. I have no idea where my manual is, but I think it's a problem with the tv's tuner. It will not allow the DVD/VCR to capture the tv screen. Electronically, it gives indications that the DVD/VCR isn't connected, but physically it is. Would love to hear from anyone who has experienced this or anything similar to it.
