The power light flashes and it does not respond to either the remote or the switches on the TV

New TV time.


I assume you unplugged it and waited a few minutes before plugging it back in... because if that doesn't work, it needs repaired or replaced. Odds are replacing is cheaper.

That's what I thought too, but always the optimist. Thanks for your time

Try uplugging it for a few minutes first... every once in a while it actually works for a problem. I however doubt it will this time.

Parts + labor on an older TV usually amount to be more than its worth. Unless you are an electronics tech, of have a family member that is... best to buy a new one.

Trust me, I'm an electronics Engineer, and I sometimes fix, sometimes just toss the stuff based on what it cost me to fix. And I don't have to pay myself for my time.
