The home power went out during a thunderstorm. Since then the Tv will not turn off unless unplugged. It make a loud hissing noise and only has a blank screen. None of the buttons work. Is this fixable? Is this worth fixing? tvgerbs
Sounds like a power surge likely followed the outage- or maybe you were actually hit by lightning- and since this set did not have a built-in kill-switch (circuit breaker) it could have very well caused some significant damage. Check the internal fuses, if they are blown, chances are, so is the rest of the set. For the cost of repairing something as over-reaching as this, I'd be looking for something new (And be sure to buy a quality surge protector, so this does not occur again!)
Hope this helps in some small way!
