Television Doesn't Turn On After Storm?

**Stjerne** · 02-22-2010, 01:00 AM

Hi, everyone. A thunderstorm passed by the other day and now my television won't turn on. I press the button and the light goes on, but the television screen stays black, then it turns off. Then it turns back on, then off. I'm not quite sure what's wrong with it but I was able to look around and bought a replacement something, I forgot what it was called. It was a circuit board but it's not what the power cord is connected to though.

I'm going to try to get it looked at, but I wanted to ask here just in case someone experienced this so that there's an easier way to get this fixed.

Thank you.

sometime a static charge from the storm runs through the antenna,or cable and causes the problem. unplug the tv.then plug it back in,then try turning it back on.make sure the tv is grounded.
