During a storm, i had the tv on & the picture went out on it when it thundered.

Have you replaced the lamp recently? they can fail if they are on when the storm happens? Please post your model # for more info.

during thunder storm, is your TV connected to wall outlet, if it so your set have a problem on power supply, you are lucky if is only a blown fuse.

Check whether the power outlet has power. If it has, I suggest please do not attempt to switch on the TV, unless checked by a qualified service technician.

Hi there!
One of reasons your tv not working, the thunder storm /lighting possibility has burnt your Tv micro processor. get a technician to check the power supply section too because during the thunder storm your TV circuitry received excessive voltage .
If is the main processor is burnt you have to change it for the TV to work .

Sure, power supply needs repair. shouldn't be more than $150 - $180

fried it, unfixable, get a new one. and start unplugging everything during storms. if you still want to watch tv while there is storm get a old crappy small tv to watch while you high priced one is in safe position(unplugged)

check to make sure outside unit is running. power failures can damage alot. if it was running during storm.

blown fuse

I went and bought a new tv!!!!!!

Terrible thunder storm can create electrict shock to our appliances thats why we recomended that if you donot use your tv pls unplug it, and it mostly if you use outdoor antena when the thunder hit the tv will damage.
