Trying to get TV back on

It sounds like the TV got blown out from the blackout and when the power resumed. Next time, put it on a surge suppressor, and turn the surge strip off until the power is fully back on and stable.

Before you toss the set, make the sure the outlet you are plugging it into is working well by plugging something else into it and confirming that it is working.

Balckouts never damage any electronics. However the blackout may have occurred due to something earlier - a surge. Most failures are due to manufacturing defective. Many want to blame external events (ie a blackout) only because the failure coincided with a power off.

Do you know the receptacle works - ie connect a light bulb to it. Most TVs have no replaceable fuses. But check.

Based upon technical information as posted, nobody can provide much useful or informed reply. Take it to a repair shop. And do not make yourself a mark by claiming it was damaged by a blackout.

As the blackout ends, and the power turns back on, there can be a surge that will damage the electronics.

With the plummeting prices of LED HDTV's, it may not be worth the money to fix and older plasma set.
