Television and Home Theater

We have a friend who was watching their Toshiba  61HX70 when the screen went squiggley (diagonal lines across the screen) then she head a low pop then the screen went blank. She shut it down, restarted it and the screen was still black although she still had sound. They shut it down, unplugged it, let it cool down, then plugged it back in and tried again. Same result. We took the covers off and looked for any blown capacitors but found none (that we could see). Looking for a service manual and advice.

Thanks,

Jim

I am wondering if anyone can give me a lead on my Samsung HCL4715W problem.  On this TV, the timer light flashes after the TV is powered on, about 10 seconds later the TV powers itself off again.

Thanks

Hi fellow experts.  I need to start this trread to see if anyone else out there is experiencing similar troubles with their Hitachi RPTV model 51F510 with the shutting down on power up..problem.  Here is a bried description of my problem and what I did:

 When you plug it in, it clicks off immediately like there is something loading down the power supply. I have removed the PCB assembly and checked all the glass and pico fuses. (even the hidden ones) but all appears ok and no sign of shorted components or smoke.
