Anyone got a possible answer to this?
I thought I posted about this before but can't find it...
so I got it free as a hand me down, 55" beast of a thing it's HUGE and heavy. It worked for about 3 weeks, then pop, nothing. I'd power it on, you'd rear some relays or something snap back and forth, then no picture. For a day or 2 I could unplug it,then plug it back in, relays click, and it would work, then finally nothing.
I gave up, looked online a but and repairs sounded way too $$$. It has been just sitting there in my living room to the side a bit, plugged in, hoping...
Tonight we had a huge storm, bigger than the last few here in WI, and while making some green beans in the microwave the power went out for a good 30 seconds. Once it came back on and my green beans finished cooking I went to the living room.... I was looking at a 55" screen of snow!
I quickly tuned to the cable input (svideo) and viola!
The power has popped 2 other times tonight and it came right back up. I was timid to risk it, but I programmed the universal cable remote, and good to go, power on / off / all works.
Anyone got an idea what might have been wrong? It is plugged into a surge suppressor, has been the whole time.
