NO POWER - IS THERE A FUSE INSIDE

It is worth checking if there is a fuse inside the Elite SL3000UL. If there is, the unit may have been damaged by a lightning strike or a power surge. If there is no fuse, it could still be a control board failure, a surge suppressor failure, or another related issue. To investigate further, you will need to consult the manufacturer or contact a certified electrician for help.

Sometimes a power surge will blowout a part inside the tv. If your lucky it could be a fuse which sometimes needs to be soldered to remove and replace. A little experience is required there. A lot of power surges will take out can capacitors on the power board. Some times the board can be replaced or possibly replace some blown caps. Definitely need a TV tech to look at that.

Perhaps the surge strip has blown a fuse. Try plugging directly into a wall socket, bypassing the surge strip. If it lights up, then you know you have to get a new surge strip. In any event, it is most likely a fuse that's either in the surge strip itself or in the rear of your Philips receiver, near where the AC plugs into the chassis. All electrical appliances and devices have a fuse. Find it and take a look and see if you can ascertain if the nicad wire is broken inside.

Follow the power cord inside the set and it ought to go almost direct to the line fuse which will have the amperage and working voltage on it--do not use a generic fuse as many of the fuses are special.

I have seen the same problem with my tv's and the like. Depending on the age of the unit, I could sometimes find a blown fuse inside (safety feature). Many electronics especially tv's are extremely fussy about power surges. Even times when I knew there was no power surge, I would find a blown fuse inside the unit, keeping power from ever reaching it's destination. Like you said. tv behaving like its off because no power getting through

The power surge probably blew the fuse inside the tv, first check the fuse inside the mains plug, if that is good then you will have to take the back cover off the tv, you are looking for the power board follow the mains cable into the tv and you will find it. Look for a fuse on the board, pop it out of the fuse holder, if you have or can get hold of a multimetre check the fuse for continuity if it hasnt you will have get hold off another fuse, you can normally get them from your local electrical repair shop, they dont cost much and the liklyhood is they will probably give you one free of charge.

I just posted this somewhere else where this was asked, but I'll post it here too so it helps other people.

This is a common problem with the Wii. Even if it's hooked up to a surge protector. If there was a power surge, or the power went out, etc...anything, this will happen. The problem is with the AC adapter, not the Wii itself.

There is a circuit inside the AC adapter that needs to be reset. Unplug the AC adapter from the wall/surge protector outlet. Don't unlpug it from the Wii, it has to be at the outlet. You have to kill power to the adapter.

Unlpug it from the wall/surge protector outlet, and leave it unplugged for 5 or 10 minutes. This will kill power to the AC adapter, and give the circuit time to reset. When you plug the adapter back into the outlet after 5 or 10 minutes, the red led on the front should be lit up.

Prayfully the fuse inside the tv took a little shock and broke ...if not that would leave the transformer or the board took a surge also but this would also depend on a little more details...

was the power surge damaged?
was tv plug damaged?
does the power surge still work (if it wasn't damage)
and not all power surges are power surges unless it specified of purchase most are like power surges but are only close to and a extended extention cord updated..

if the power surge is damaged or even still works then go have the fuse check and any further damage will also show up on the board it will have a burned part...

Sounds like you got a surge which damaged the control panel. This is the most likely thing. We regularly repair these control panels nationwide for $32.50. A fuse is designed protect against excessive current. But if you have excessive voltage (a surge or spike), it can be so fast that it gets past the fuse and damages the control panel without actually blowing it. While the panel does have surge protection to keep that surge from actually destroying the control panel, the panel is damaged and will have to be repaired. If any power line connections were broken or are suspect, I hope you have contacted the power company. Either way, I would test any affected outlets to be sure the neutral and ground are present so the voltage output is within the proper range.
