I have a Panasonic Model # CT-32SL13G. TV is about four years old and quit working one morning. Wife turned on at about 6am and when I went to turn set on nothing happened. Wont turn on with remote or by pushing power button on set. TV was left unplugged for about five hours plugged back in and still nothing. Is it going to be worth fixing????? What could be some of the problems causing this???? Called Panasonic and couldn't get anything out of them other than addresses and phone numbers for repair shops over an hour away. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nobody has any ideas of where to even start to look to fix this problem???
Do you hear any click at all from the back of the TV set? Are there any lights that light up on the front of the TV set?
When power button is pushed the TV does nothing. No clicking no lights nothing. It acts like it isnt even plugged in. Could this have something to do with the power module or supply????
Yes of course, this is where your problem is. There could be a blow AC fude also, or maybe the current limitter resistor.
Checked fuse and have 120v at fuse and it isnt blown. On undernside of circuit board where the lines go to the back of the picture tube and to the top of picture tube, the solder connections look as if they are a copper color where they come in contact with the board. Maybe some type of short?? Suppose that this may be the problem area but not sure. Dont have a set of schematics for this tv to help determine what parts are what and how the power flow is. Any help is greatly appreciated.
