What could be wrong if my television will not turn on after a power outage?

Answer by  Jeff26 (31)

Best case scenario is that you may have blown a fuse. Hopefully you had some sort of surge protector in between the wall outlet and the T.V. power cable. Lightning strikes have been known to fry exspensive electronics in an instant. Good luck.

Your surge protector may have tripped, in which case you can reset it. In a worse case scenario you may have blown the power supply in the TV.

It coulod all depend on what coused the outtage. You should first check the breaker to the TV or if its plugged into a surge protector to see if its tripped. If there was a surge before the power was interrupted there are multiple electronics inside the set that could have been damaged.

Lightning could have zapped your system. Your surge protector could have been tripped, which saved your television, and just needs to be reset or turned back on.

You could have blown the fuse. Turn off the power at the wall and check in your plug socket-it may need replacing.

The tube could have been blown out during the power outage. Also try checking to make sure that it is plugged in.

you most likely had a power surge that has blown out the electronics in the power unit in the set. You should of course check your homes breaker box first.
