Good day!

When the TV is not turning ON it doesn't mean that there's a busted fuse inside although it have a possibility.There are a lot of causes to be considered.Like shorted transistors,leak capacitors open resistors and shorted diode.

Follow this D.I.Y procedures to find the exact problem of your TV.

  1. Remove the back cover of your TV.
  2. After that,find the power supply board.
  3. If you already found the power supply,plug-in your TV and power it ON.Check the input voltage of it,using multimeter (AC range).If the power supply have no input voltage the problem could be the power cord.Replace it.
  4. If the power supply have the input voltage,try to test the output voltage if have 5vdc for the system and logic supply,12vdc for the sounds and 24vdc for the back-light inverter.Use your multimeter tester (DC range) to test that.
  5. If the power supply have a voltage outputs such as 5vdc,12vdc and 24vdc and the problem is still there.The problem could be the main board.Replace it with the same type and model # because the main board is no very difficult to fix and its very sensitive.
  6. If the power supply have no output voltage or the voltage is too low,just ignore the step # 5 because the problem is not on the main board,its on the power supply board.
Check the following to fix the power supply board:
  • Fuse: Check the fuse if it is busted or blown.
  • Power transistor (regulator): Check the regulator if it is shorted or leak.
  • Resistor: Check the resistors specially the one that have a low resistance that near the power regulator.
  • Capacitor: Also check the capacitors if it is leak or bulging top.
NOTE: If you found any defective parts or components that mention above replace it with the same value,type and ratings.

Thank you and good luck.Please don't forget to vote and rate my answer.

    Excellent diagnostics - however there should be a warning about possible electric shocks !

The TV won't turn on. It is plugged in, but won't turn on at all. Is it fused?

It has a fuse and if the power light comes on and blinks a specific code that would be a error code.

This set weighs close to two hundred pounds, follow the power cord inside the set as it goes almost directly to the fuse which should be a 6.3 amp fuse----careful if its bad, it is a slow blow and special, a Radio Shack or Generic one the same amperage and type will blow for no reason, if its bad don't keep feeding it fuses.

My LG Flatron rear projection TV won't turn on. The on/off power button is not turning the TV on. There is no click sound and the red light doesn't come on. The TV is connected to mains power and ther

tried with other ac outlet doesn't work?. if still won't turn on, at this time you will need to remove the rear cover to gain access the internal part. since your tv doesn't have any power indicator, the first place to be checked will be the power supply board this is where the power connector cord is connected. now look for a blown fuse replaced with the same rating. but take note before you replaced the bad fuse you must need to have component testing in the power supply board which the cause of blown of the fuse. like shorted bridge diode, open resistance and defective mosfet or bad regulator ic.at this time you will need a device called digital tester to check weather the parts need replacement.hope this can help good luck.

My LG TV red light won't turn on. although the plug fuse and the remote OK

Try manually pressing the power/standby button on the tv (side or bottom) the red light should appear, most modern tv's will turn on simply by pressing the channel up or down on the tv itself.. But unfortunately in most cases, this seems to be an internal surge and needs a professional to inspect..

I have a 32" CRT Sylvania Tv that won't turn

Hello
If the TV doesn't turn ON ata all, it is surely due to some fault with its power supply regulator section. You haven't given any otehr details of your tV, than it is only a 32 inch CRT Sylvanial Tv. No model number; so I only can provide you a solution in general.
Check the ON-OFF switch for its contact. Normally, TVs uses DPST type switches [Double Pole Single Throw]. If any one contact amoung them have any problem with its internal contacts, the set won't switch ON. If the switch is OK, come towards the power regulator section circuit board, and check whether the fuse has blown out or not. If it has blown out, replace it with same type and ampere rating. Never use higher ampere rating than specified. The ampere rating will be maiked either on the rims of the fuse, or at the printed circuit board, just under the fuse. After repalcing the fuse, switch ON the TV and see whether it works well or the replaced fuse blows up as soon as you switch ON the set. If the repalced switch burns out as soon as you switch ON the set, the power supply section has damaged [shorted components in it]; and should be replaced.
Normally for LCD TVs it will be good to replace the power supply as card basis. This power regulator card can be bought from most of the electronic spare part shops at your town, orby the authorised service center for Sylvania at your town. If you may have given its model number, I could send you the picture of the power card of your TV. OK.
