I have a Phillips 27in Flat screen TV. My stupid cat jumped up on it today and it turned itself off. Now it wont turn on at all. I found a lot of people online that had a similar problem and it was a fuse. I pulled it apart and the fuse is fine. Does anyone fix TVs or know what the problem can be? ---

No. Typically for a TV that size you could probably replace it for what it costs unless it’s something simple like a broken wire/fuse. How hard did the cat land on the TV? My vote goes for tv on cat! ---

This is what you do… Go buy another identical TV and then return the broken one! Shady? Yes, but it gets your TV fixed!! I’ve done it with my PS2 like three or four times. Probably one of the reasons Media Play is out of business. ---

if it is a CRT - just watch for discharge from the electron gun - it’s really not fun at all 🙂 ---

I say a Wire! Weird how a Cat breaks it from just jumping onto it!
