TV will not power on! Help!

I have this GE 52GW945 TV and it will not turn on. I opened up the back and realized that a fuse is blown. I replaced the fuse, and it blew again. Any idea what would be causing this? Any help is appreciated.

Hi,

Have you looked at the circuit board under the fuse, there might be a dry joint somewhere, so hopefully just needs resoldering.

Hope this helps

Take a look at your low voltage power supply. If it has a Bridge Rectifier unit or diodes, check if all 4 diodes are intact (not shorted). Also check the big filter electrolytic capacitors in that circuit.

Well, that won't be an easy thing to do, considering what you asked. With out a layout drawing of the main circuit board of your TV, I won't be able to direct you to the components I mentioned in my last reply. You need to talk to someone in your town that may be familiar with what I asked short of taking your TV to a repair shop. If you don't know what a Diode or Capacitor is, then I really can't help you here on this forum. Maybe somebody better than I can direct you, but it would be difficult without a board layout drawing. Sorry.

Hi I think the problem that youre facing needs a Tech..Its not a loose connection or solder issue..What you have is your Deflection circuit has some components deffective also need to check the power supply...Which area are you at?

Thank you .......have a bless day...
