I turned the tv on and it made a hissing sound. There was an acidic burning smell with no picture and the unit will not come on at all at this time. The tv is only 3 yrs. old, has not been moved and is in dry area. Any ideas?
Depends if you know about electronics and have SOME knowledge on how to fix them the user may well be able to source parts to fix them. Read WARNING below..
As suggested the fault could be FBT "Horizontal Output Transistor" (Check to see if shorted.) burnt out resistor or electolytic capacitor.
IF the FBT (Flyback transformer.) needs to be replaced you will want to know how to SAFELY discharge CRT HIGH VOLTAGE (WARNING CRT acts like a huge capacitor and may store around 25000Volts AND CAN KILL a person .) if unsure get qualified person to do repair.
By the way the term "No user servicable parts inside." is to keep
most people safe from high voltages etc inside.
If you know where to go you can get all (Well mostly all) the parts you require.
Things to assist people to help:
Does your TV have self diagnostics?
Ie. does standby led flash in a particular sequence.
This will give a tech a 98% of correctly advising your fault.
If you open the case (Have good lighting.) you should be able to see a burnt out resistor with no problem as it will most likely be brown to black with unreadable color codes or value on it.
Write down the resistor PCB id eg R615 etc. (Same applies to Horizontal Output Transistor etc.)
This will also assist a tech to provide correct information, and reduce the possible causes of fault..
ALWAYS remember if in doubt get a qualified person to do job.

Really cannot help you. Could be many things. Power Regulator short Circuit, Horizontal Output Transistor and FBT ... Best get a professional to take a look. These sets are all solid state, and there are no user servicable parts inside.

When i pressed the power on my tv it made the click that it normally makes when it turns on but i got no picture and i smelled something burning, what could be wrong?
tv won;t come on. power switch blanks and thats all. tv is only little a year old. do you think it is the sensor power switch. thank you carol
I just encounter the same problem with the KV-32FS320 TV however, unlike the problem of Carol the TV is just a two months old and the remove is original. Would it be possible that the problem is with the manufacturing of the TV itself?
